Learning Northwest Success Awards 2002
The promotional campaign for the Personnel Assistant was recognised

Success Awards 2002. Pictured (right) with their finalists certificate are

Background
The external evaluation
of Business Bridge carried out in the first phase of LENW highlighted a gap in
the SME sector's ability to effectively manage the student placement. In response
to this, it was decided that a set of Human Resource Management (HRM) materials
be developed that would assist in strengthening the SMEs' capacity to manage higher
level skills.
Firstly, extensive research was carried out to establish the current
recruitment, induction and training practices of a sample of Merseyside SMEs.
Over 100 SMEs were interviewed in total, ranging in size and sector. Click

Personnel Assistant
The results of the research informed the development of the
HRM Materials - Personnel Assistant. The Personnel Assistant has now become an
integral part of the Business Bridge process, enabling SMEs to put effective management
tools in place and thereby making themselves ready to recruit and manage graduates.
The Personnel Assistant provides advice and guidelines on recruitment
and selection, induction and performance management.
