In-house Training

Build the capability your people need to lead well, manage people risk and handle real workplace situations.

iHR Australia delivers practical in-house workplace training for employees, people leaders, HR and People & Culture teams, executives and boards.

Programs are relevant to your operating environment, workforce risks and capability priorities, and delivered face to face or virtually across Australia and New Zealand.

Our facilitators have current workplace relations, investigations, psychosocial risk, leadership and organisational experience. This is combined with our Workplace Reality Theatre® for maximum engagement, using realistic scenarios and practical skill-building, so participants can observe, practise and receive expert feedback.

iHR Australia - Training, Workplace Investigations and Mediations, Consulting

Workplace Reality Theatre® brings an immersive approach designed to maximise engagement and turn learning into practical, lasting change.

Professional actors bring realistic workplace scenarios to life, allowing participants to observe how challenging situations unfold in real time.

Seeing different behaviours, responses and outcomes played out allows participants to explore the nuances that traditional training often misses - from tone and body language to the impact of seemingly small choices.

Participants have the opportunity to practise new skills, test different approaches and receive expert feedback in a supportive environment.

This combination of realistic scenarios, active participation and practical coaching helps build the confidence and capability to respond effectively when similar situations arise at work.

Whatever the workplace capability need, iHR can design a customised training solution using experienced facilitators, practical skill-building and Workplace Reality Theatre® to create realistic, engaging and relevant learning.

Why organisations choose in-house training

In-house workshops allow organisations to build capability across a team, leadership group or workforce using examples and scenarios that are relevant to the workplace.

It creates a shared understanding, gives people the opportunity to practise together and helps translate learning into more consistent workplace behaviour and decision-making.

A consistent capability baseline across teams, roles or locations:
  • Role-specific learning for employees, managers, HR practitioners, executives or boards
  • Scenarios drawn from the organisation's industry context
  • Practical tools that participants can use immediately after the program
  • A scalable approach for multi-site, national, regional and remote workforces – onsite or virtual
  • A pathway that connects training with coaching, eLearning, policy implementation or broader organisational improvement

Tailored to the audience

The depth, examples and expected actions are adjusted for the role of the participant. A board briefing, manager workshop, employee program and HR practitioner masterclass should not teach the same content in the same way.
