Finance for HR – Pre-course Preview

FREE 1-hour webinar – to prepare for the upcoming course Finance for HR

Although in contemporary discussions, there is significant emphasis placed on HR professionals assuming the role of strategic business partners, particularly as they develop their expertise with financial acumen, yet there is little said about how this is possible.

In this short webinar we will show in a tangible way how financial skills enable HR to contribute meaningfully to key business initiatives, optimize resource allocation, and enhance overall organizational performance.

Simple but very powerful examples will be examined and analysed during the webinar.

The short agenda is:

• Overview of the accounting process and how data reaches the financial statements
• Overview of Financial Statements
• Example of financial statement analysis that points to HR issues
• Employee Benefits and impact on Financial Statements:
  • Termination benefits
  • Long-Service Awards or Jubilee Bonuses
  • Absences e.g. accumulated leave
  • Pension schemes
• Q&A session

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, optimize resource allocation, and enhance overall organizational performance.
