- Posted By GM Leadership Hive
People are often a business’s biggest asset, but managers and leaders at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) don’t always have the time or resources to address individual employees’ needs.
Our new Workforce Development Programme - grow your people grow your business - is designed for business leaders and owners to develop the future growth of their business and productivity through their biggest asset: their people.
The training program of expert-led workshops is tailored to help you improve productivity and internal developmental opportunities within your team, addressing individual needs within your business’s organisational framework.
Who is it for?
The programme is designed for any SME based in Greater Manchester that is looking to grow its business by developing its people strategy. It is an incredibly valuable resource for SMEs that do not have a designated HR function or an individual responsible for personnel development within the business.
What does the programme includes?
The Workforce Development Programme includes a series of online interactive workshops, all designed by our experts to give you and your staff the best chance of success.
What will you expect after attending the programme?
The programme will equip leaders with the necessary skills and knowledge to be more effective in their roles. They will learn how to lead their teams, solve complex problems, and make informed decisions.
When employees feel that their leaders are competent and capable, they are more likely to be motivated and committed to their work.
A well-trained leader can create a positive work environment that encourages staff motivation and satisfaction. They will understand the needs and concerns of their staff and be better equipped to meet them.
The leaders will learn how to identify and pursue growth opportunities, create innovative strategies, and build strong teams.
Leaders will learn how to streamline processes and identify opportunities for improvement, resulting in increased productivity.
