How to choose

A sensible way to choose

Professional Skills training works best when it follows real responsibilities, so start with these three checks.

Start with the role

Choose the skills the person uses most often, so the plan fits the role.

Build manager capability

Combine leadership, communication, decision making, emotional intelligence and conflict resolution for line managers.

Support day to day performance

Use customer service, teamwork, confidence and time management to help each person grow in their role.

One category does not need to mean one plan

Different roles can take different Professional Skills courses through The Globe LMS. If your needs cross several categories, browse the full course catalogue or use the course builder to create learning for your own company.

What the law says, and what it does not

The law in its own words, and the scale of the problem in HSE's. We quote both word for word, so you can check them.

There is no statutory training duty for these skills. No UK law requires an employer to train staff in negotiation, leadership or time management. What does apply is narrower. Where a skill is part of doing a job safely or lawfully, the duty then sits with that job. Employers choose these courses because they work.
