Free HR workshops – pilot launch
One Care’s people services team is launching a pilot programme of free HR workshops for practices, run by our HR business partner Gertruda Grudyte. The workshops will give your staff practical training on essential HR topics and will help build confidence and capability in managing common HR scenarios. Gertruda can facilitate each workshop in-person at your practice or at the One Care offices.
The workshops include:
1. Managing short-term absence – 3 hours
- promoting employee health and wellbeing
- understanding policy and legal considerations
- making reasonable adjustments
- conducting return-to-work and absence review meetings
- navigating the absence management process, including potential dismissal
2. Performance conversations – 3 hours
- holding meaningful and constructive conversations
- giving effective feedback
- setting objectives and goals
- managing different types of performance discussions (e.g. one-to-ones, probation reviews, annual appraisals)
- supporting personal and professional development
3. Flexible working – 1.5 hours
- exploring the benefits of flexible working
- dispelling common myths
- understanding statutory rights and legal frameworks
- managing the application process
- key considerations before rejecting a request
The content and duration of each workshop can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your practice following a discussion with our team. Workshops are ideal for line managers and department leads, and we recommend a minimum of six delegates per workshop.
We’re also happy to explore joint sessions at PCN or locality level to lessen impact on individual practice capacity.
The pilot will run until 31st March 2026 subject to availability. To express interest, please contact people.services@onecare.org.uk with:
