August 24: Employee Training and Development: The Importance and Ultimate Cost to the Organization
When considering all the aspects of neglected management, most often organizations identify development planning as an area of important need. Development planning truly aids your employees in shaping not only the future of their careers but also the future of the organization. For a variety of reasons, the valuable activity of employee training and development often goes ignored or becomes an afterthought by management. With this comes the ultimate price: the loss of top talent or future hopefuls.
Training and development planning doesn't have to be elaborate or costly. This session will focus on the core of every training program. Participants will learn to have a good management culture of taking the person-to-person time to understand employee needs and desires, recognizing skills and training needs and collaborating with the employee and human resources to fill any existing gaps that are critical functions for every organization. Next, the session will discuss if training and development is executed well, the payoff for the organization can be substantial in terms of long-term loyalty, retention, engagement and productivity. Lastly, participants will learn how to negate training and development voids which substantially risk valuable employee assets and long-term talent.
September 7 & September 21: Understanding Ourselves and Others: DiSC Personality Profile Assessment (Part 1 & Part 2)
We all have many personalities and whatever the reasons, unless we understand ourselves better, it will be more difficult to understand others. The DiSC Profile is designed to help us understand more about our natural behavioral styles. Being aware of how we behave is one thing.... knowing why we behave the way we do is something else.
The premise of this training is four-fold: (1) To understand your behavioral tendencies and begin developing an understanding of how these styles may affect others, (2) to understand, respect, appreciate and value individual differences, (3) to enhance your effectiveness in accomplishing tasks by improving your relationships with others, and (4) to develop strategies for working together to increase productivity.
The DiSC Personal Profile System isn’t a test that you can pass or fail.The Personal Profile System is a simple, self-scoring instrument that will help us not only understand ourselves and others, but also learn about how to work more productively with those in our organization whose behavioral styles are different from ours.
October 5 & October 26: Performance Management (Part 1 and Part 2)
Did you know two thirds of supervisors receive little to no training on how to handle the soft skills of management? Supervisors must exhibit true leadership, boost morale, and reduce employee turnover, all while positively impacting your organization's bottom line — a tall order for even the most experienced professional. This two-part series will address necessary skills with a focus on the employee – manager relationship. We’ll discuss the behaviors that effective supervisors should demonstrate and lay the groundwork for effective leadership and management skills.
Session 1 Learning Topics include:
Essential Skills of Leadership– Builds a foundation that enables managers to manage their team toward a shared goal: achieving the organization’s strategic objectives.
Essential Skills of Communicating– Teaches managers the latest business communication strategies, thereby improving their performance and increasing the productivity of both the team and the organization.
Developing Performance Goals and Standards– Learners analyze the skills and strategies they use every day in their jobs to identify the techniques that they do very well and to develop ways for them to do their job better.
Session 2 Learning Topics include:
Coaching Job Skills– Helps managers learn how to effectively coach individuals through a process of observation, analysis and communication. By carefully planning one-on-one discussions, managers can have the greatest impact and gain individual commitment to achieving results.
Providing Performance Feedback – Helps managers learn a systematic, fact-based approach to performance improvement through quality feedback.
Effective Discipline – Helps managers learn effective techniques for addressing problem behavior. Using communication skills, the manager works to preserve the individual’s self-respect and encourage the best kind of discipline – self-discipline.
