TRAINING FOR MANAGERS
Creating the Dream Team – Helping your Managers to manage more effectively
Introduction
The most valuable resource you have in your business is your employees. In order to get the best from them, they need effective and confident Managers to work with.
Approximately 60% of people who leave their jobs do not leave because they have fallen out of love with the job or even the company. They leave because of their Managers. Sometimes it’s down to a clash of personalities but it can be down to how the Manager has behaved towards and treated the employee.
Managers are not born good managers. They have to be trained, supported and guided to become good managers of people and in turn to develop and train the managers of the future.
This is where Keeping HR Simple come in. Our training programme is made up of eight modules and is designed to support your Managers in creating and maintaining a well-managed and effective workplace.
Each module can be delivered face to face or via Zoom and is designed to last around an hour, making them ideal to fit in with a busy working day. They are guaranteed to deliver powerful outcomes for your business. We also offer pre-recorded modules for access whenever it’s convenient for you.
Participants
This is ideal for first time Managers or Supervisors who want to develop their people management skills. They’ll want to understand how best to deal with the hands on side of running a team and get the most from the team they manage. The sessions are usually delivered in groups to maximise participant contribution and sharing of ideas and experiences.
Modules
Each module is broken down into sessions which emphasise practical training to improve managers’ abilities, build their confidence and give them the skills they need to become more effective managers.
