Strategic Workforce Planning Review Just completed the Strategic Workforce Planning Certification Class. I felt the class was good overall, and provided a lot of great information. However, I felt the material would have been better spread out over another day or so. I think it was a little rushed, and there was some sections that were more detailed and required more attention than others. I also think we could have used more samples to work with, vs. always using our own organization's information. I think it would have provided a better foundation for our learning and provided clear examples, vs. us having to try and figure a lot of things out, when this is our first time going through the material.

Excellent Course I loved the Strategic Workforce Planning course. It was the 2nd one I have taken by HCI. Totally worth the time and money. The instructor was experienced and an excellent adult educator/ trainer. She went the extra mile to keep us engaged, working together and learning. She also stayed after the class to answer additional questions- super helpful. The curriculum on point with what is needed for walking away with knowledge you can apply immediately. I trust HCI to deliver training that is up to date with current trends and embedded in real world practice. Well done!

2 Good presentations Two out of the five presenters held my attention. I really thought that Shelly and Justin's material and presentation was the most thought provoking. 2nd would be Elora's presentation. The others felt like they were just reading their slides.

Engaging content and facilitation Had an amazing training with Karen this week on succession training. She is exteremely knowledgable and built in some levity and humor that helped to break up the content. She was also very mindful of breaks needed to reflect and reatin the information. She provided a ton of exmaples which allowed the content really come to life. She went the extra mile to use words and phrases that are a major part of pur company which not only made us feel understood but also cared for. I highly recommend Karen for succession training. After leaving this session I feel that I have a very solid understanding of how to apply the content in a meaningful way.

It was very helpful to go through the… It was very helpful to go through the process step by step. The instructor captured all of the things we wanted to learn and made sure we discussed every item. It helped to have break out sessions to discuss real issues and processes from our current positions to determine how we could apply what we were learning.
