UK

Hays, the leading recruiting expert, has launched a free online training portal designed to help employers and teams grow the skills they need to function effectively and thrive in the face of Covid-19.

Available to businesses of all sizes, Hays Thrive offers three course areas covering remote working, wellbeing and health and safety. The remote working courses are designed to help improve worker efficiency when remote working and assist with planning their working days and working with a remote team.  

The courses are designed to be completed as part of a busy schedule, with a learning management system included to help employers assign training, track team completions and create personalised training programmes.

Simon Winfield, Managing Director of Hays UK & Ireland, commented: “We know that many organisations are facing a period of unprecedented change, adapting to remote working and managing remote teams. By offering online training courses for free, we hope to help businesses find new ways of working and support their workers through the crisis. It was vital to include a course dedicated to wellbeing to help employers put their staff’s mental health first, something we all need to be aware of during these uncertain times.”
