Our workshops cover several key areas that can help you develop the skills of your people managers. You'll learn how to:

Identify the skills and approaches managers require to perform their roles successfully both now and in the future

Implement fair and progressive work practices through an understanding of key drivers that can develop new ways of working (for example, the fair work framework, productivity and benefits of employee engagement)

Understand the importance of effectively maximising and improving existing staff skills, while identifying the style and attributes of an effective manager

Areas our workshops will focus on
