The Creating a Positive Work Environment in Organisations Training Course for HR Assistants, delivered by Oxford Training Centre, is designed to equip HR support professionals with the practical knowledge, interpersonal awareness, and procedural tools necessary to cultivate a culture of inclusivity, wellbeing, and productivity within the workplace. The course integrates evidence-based strategies for improving morale, encouraging collaboration, and ensuring emotional safety across all levels of an organisation.
This course falls within the broader framework of Human Resources Training Courses and is structured specifically for HR assistants who serve on the front line of employee support and administrative execution. A positive organisational culture is not only a contributor to workforce satisfaction and retention but also a driver of performance and innovation. By recognising the unique role HR assistants play in shaping daily workplace interactions, the programme ensures participants are fully prepared to foster respectful, psychologically safe, and empathetic environments.
Throughout this practical and scenario-driven training, participants will explore how to actively promote workplace wellbeing, mitigate negativity, improve team dynamics, and support inclusion initiatives.
