About this course
What this course covers
The course covers speaking the executive's language, putting a defensible dollar figure on a problem like turnover or a manager-development investment, and pressure-testing the case so finance engages with it. Participants may submit a finished case to a Catapult HR Advisor for feedback after the course.
Who should attend. HR practitioners and managers who need to secure budget or buy-in in the executive's language.
