Line Manager Training

As the title suggests it is a programme of learning and development sessions designed specifically to enhance the knowledge and skill sets of a core group of employees in the workplace. The sessions are designed to reflect the needs and goals of both the organisation and the individual. Ranging from half day workshops to week long programmes they involve a number of key subject matters such as coaching, effective delegation, communication, managing performance and handling difficult situations.

Why use Line Manager Training?
The role of the First Line Manager is a difficult one, perhaps one of the hardest to perform effectively. The role involves representing the work-force, monitoring the company policies and procedures; and is instrumental in implementing changes. As the key link between the shop floor and the upper levels of management, they face constant and often conflicting pressures. Typically First Line Managers are promoted from within, without the necessary skills to perform effectively and are often expected to “learn the ropes” as they go along. This is not only challenging but can be stressful and de-motivating, not only for them but for the teams that they lead.

The First Line Manager training gives participants the ability to effectively communicate within and across teams, hold structured team meetings, conduct disciplinary hearings, plan regular performance reviews and manage the appraisal process.

By investing in First Line Manager development, organisations are demonstrating their commitment to developing their people and giving them the skill sets to ensure business productivity and profitability.
