Finance for HR: Turning Budgets into Strategic HR Insight

FREE 1-Hour Live Interactive Webinar | Preview of the upcoming Finance for HR Module 2

We are continuing the Finance for HR series of free training webinars with a fresh topic designed exclusively for HR professionals who influence salaries, headcount, development investments, workforce planning and performance decisions. All of these sit inside budgets.

If you missed the first Finance for HR free training webinar, you can download it here.

When HR professionals understand key financial tools such as cost structures, variances, and break‑even analysis, they gain sharper insight into:

• which teams are efficient or overstretched;
• which managers are utilising resources well;
• which roles or individuals may be promotable, underperforming, or mis‑aligned;
• how HR data connects to operational and financial performance.

This webinar demonstrates exactly how basic finance skills translate into real HR insight.

Agenda:

• Can budgets translate financial insight into HR strategy?
• How the cost behaviour influences recruitment, overtime, outsourcing and reward structures
• Could HR problems be hiding in favourable variances?
• Practical HR examples using simple but powerful financial tools to influence leadership decisions
• Q&A session
• Participant feedback – let us know your specific requests to include in the upcoming course Finance for HR.

Join us to see how finance can empower HR, not intimidate it!

Perfect for HR managers who want their seat at the decision‑making table.

Even with simple examples we will appreciate that indeed the acquisition of financial knowledge and skills equips HR professionals to engage in strategic decision-making processes that align human resource strategies with broader organizational goals. This strategic alignment enables HR to contribute meaningfully to key business initiatives, optimise resource allocation, and enhance overall organisational performance.

Trainers:

Marinos Athanassiou – Founder of the EY Academy of Business and a trainer in finance.
