This online course is designed specifically for architects who own or operate small firms, providing practical, hands-on guidance for managing teams effectively while staying compliant with employment laws. Join this program to gain a solid foundation in HR and people management, where we’ll cover legal requirements for hiring, managing, and separating from employees while keeping the firm protected and compliant.
We’ll explore employee relations and workplace culture, helping firm owners to build a team environment that fosters creativity, accountability, and collaboration—all crucial in the field of architecture. As the "war for talent" intensifies, especially in design-driven fields, we’ll discuss actionable strategies to attract and retain skilled talent, and how businesses can gain a competitive edge. The course will also cover proven techniques to increase employee engagement, so your team stays motivated and connected to your firm’s mission and projects, reducing turnover and strengthening your firm’s reputation.
When it comes to terminations, we’ll provide clear, practical advice on handling these sensitive situations in a way that’s respectful, legally sound, and mindful of team dynamics. With real-world scenarios, architecture-specific case studies, and straightforward guidance, this training gives you the HR tools you need to grow your business with confidence, creating a culture that values people and maximizes your firm’s potential.
