Support and Supervision of Staff - Online course on Thursday 16 May
If you manage and support staff, you'll know it can be stressful, hard work and often thankless. This course aims to take away some of the heartache by offering a ready-made template for managing well and managing effectively.
One day online course
Online courses take place via Zoom and include a one hour lunch break as well as brief refreshment breaks.
The course covers some of the key stumbling blocks for those new to people management, including defining your role, performance management and what to do when things are going wrong. Learn a framework for managing people which can be applied to any management style in most organisations. You’ll leave this course more confident and with better skills for working with others in a sensitive but effective way.
Who should sign up?
Anyone who is responsible for managing staff or projects will find this course beneficial, particularly if they’re new to managing people.
