The Managing People Fundamentals Program teaches and develops the relevant, practical knowledge, skills and motivational tools required for success in management. On completion of the programme managers will have an increased level of both competence and importantly confidence that will enable them to professionally lead high performing teams.

Our comprehensive seven module programme is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, processes and checklists that will help you manage and optimise your most important resource; your people.

Leaders of today need to be able to steer teams to achieve and exceed business goals in a rapidly changing environment.

The final module of the programme brings together all of the components, knowledge and skills discussed in previous modules to provide an effective framework for aligning people, organisational culture and your strategy.

If you can develop leaders and teams to achieve consistently high results, you will have the ultimate competitive advantage. The aim of this module is to consolidate all learning and create specific action plans to realise your short, medium and long term goals that delegates will apply in their current roles.

There can be significant complexity in managing all the different types of absence. This module defines the different types of employee absence and teaches up to date best practise for dealing with them confidently to achieve best outcomes.

With 1 in 6 absences from the workplace due to mental ill health, this module also educates the delegates on mental health and provides practical training for managing it. You can expect to learn how both short and long-term absences can be managed proactively to promote employee health and wellbeing, support business performance and reduce financial impacts.

Managing performance within a team is a critical part of the role of a manager. Managing exceptional performance is as important as managing poor performance.

Managers need to be able to plan and hold difficult conversations with members of their teams and their own managers to enable the most positive outcomes possible.

How you bring new people into the organisation is crucial to achieving your business goals.

The recruitment process continues far beyond a new appointment and success depends on what happens during the first few days, weeks and months. How well the employees settle in, the quality of the training provided and how well the employer treats them in the early stages, can have a huge impact long term.

This module provides you with the relevant skills and knowledge to select, recruit and retain the best people for your organisation and to ensure that you comply with the legal requirements at each stage.
