I would like to note the interesting format of Effective HR Management Techniques program – working in small groups under the supervision of experienced practitioners. Lectures alternate with applied examples from Russian and foreign corporate practice. Relevant business cases. I was surprised by the audience make-up. My class didn’t include just colleagues from HR, but also a branch director of a Germany company who was from HR and was skeptical at first. By the end of the course, he also engaged in the process and fully participated in group discussions. In terms of organization, everything was very well-structured, the teachers were not cancelling classes, and I really liked the coffee breaks and sweet treats. I would recommend this program to both HR managers and heads of other departments, as well as to the owners of small and medium-sized businesses. Among the faculty, I liked Natalia Krasnova (huge background in Russian and foreign corporate practices, plus a structured and –to-understand delivery of material) and Yana Bobrova (bright and charismatic lecturer with amazing energy) a lot. I also express my gratitude to Svetlana Babarina, Director of Professional Development Programs for this unique program and her individual approach to each client (student).
