Het was, het is en het blijft zo: het correct schriftelijk kunnen communiceren in goed Nederlands is een vereiste om optimaal te kunnen functioneren, zowel zakelijk als privé!

Een geschreven stuk moet effect hebben en dat wordt ten dele bereikt met correct taalgebruik! Voor deze cursus is het noodzakelijk dat u een redelijk goede beheersing hebt van de Nederlandse taal.

Het internet levert ons verschillende definities van beleid op. Wat is beleid eigenlijk en waarom zijn de meningen over wat wel of geen beleid is zo verdeeld? Waarom dragen velen de overtuiging dat het ons op vele gebieden aan beleid ontbreekt? En als dat niet zo is, waarom wordt het bestaande of ontwikkeld beleid dan niet als zodanig herkend of aanvaardt?

Wij constateren dat er een groot verschil is tussen wat het publiek als wenselijk beleid ervaart en datgene wat de overheid in beleid uitwerkt en implementeert. Hoe komt het dat de zienswijzen, standpunten en wensen zo ver uit elkaar liggen? Het moge duidelijk zijn voor een ieder dat beleid meer is dan het schrijven van een goed stuk.

In de cursus beleid bezint u zich met anderen op het begrip beleid. U definieert het begrip, plaatst het binnen de context van de overheid en verdiept zich in de praktijk van het overheidsbeleid. U maakt kennis met het krachten- en spanningsveld waarin de totstandkoming en uitvoering van beleid onderhevig is. U maakt kennis met de wet en regelgeving welk het beleidsproces redigeert en de uitvoering van beleid reguleert. U beoefent doorlopend de vaardigheden welk de beleidsmedewerker in staat stelt beleidsanalyses, beleidsadviezen en ten slotte beleidsdocumenten te produceren. Tot de vaardigheden behoren gesprekstechnieken, adviestechnieken en schrijfvaardigheden en technieken.

All Labour Laws are paramount to the job of any manager but are of utmost importance to all those responsible for Human Resource (HR).  Oftentimes businesses waste valuable time with minor Labour related matters which could easily be dealt with if HR is knowledgeable about the laws.  Knowledge of the laws can also assist in the formulation of contracts, in minor negotiations with employees; in calculating benefits due to employees and in understanding how a collective bargaining agreement impacts the relation between employer and employees. Moreover it helps to ensure that the work is done according to legally established rules and procedures. That’s why Linkels & Partners has put together a practical training program to help strengthen the understanding of labour law related issues as well as enhance the capacity of participants to deal with common issues.
