HRValue Groups Management Training
This dynamic management development series is an
effective way to promote and keep confident,
committed managers. They learn or update valuable
skills in leadership, performance management,
recruitment, communication, coaching and
mentoring, employment compliance, succession
planning and team development. This training is
delivered by seasoned professionals, each with
over ten years of management experience, who
understand the challenges managers face and can
provide practical advice participants can use.
They work with you to incorporate your policies
and practices into each workshop. This ensures
the content is relevant to participants and
consistent with the direction of your
organization. HRVG also offers a confidential,
on-line pre and post training needs assessment
tool. This tool objectively measures and
prioritizes the learning needs of managers and
supervisors, ensuring the training meets their
specific needs. When the assessment tool is
administered after the training program it can be
used to measure the impact of the training.
