No two organisations are the same, but the pressures are often similar - managing employees and volunteers, safeguarding responsibilities, funding constraints and increasing regulatory scrutiny.

meet governance and regulatory requirements
manage staff and volunteers confidently and fairly
navigate TUPE and organisational change

Midlands Air Ambulance
The online training session delivered by WorkNest covering equality, diversity and inclusion was delivered brilliantly. The approach to tailoring content to the needs of the organisation and in this case, an audience of Board members, was well handled. The offer of online training from WorkNest is something we will be taking more advantage of from now on.
English Rural Housing Association
Governance and Executive Support Manager
We recently received training on two hot topics: having difficult conversations and performance management. Our team really enjoyed it and everyone has said that the trainer was engaging and made the full day training session interesting and relevant. I look forwarding to attending further training.
Waverly Care
Chief Executive
Being a busy small charity we needed an efficient system to save us time with our HR processes and WorkNest have delivered this. Most important is the PeopleNest support staff, who are always available to answer any questions in a helpful, prompt and friendly way.
