You might need your team to access a shared mailbox that customers can send messages to, or you might want to share the receipts folder in your Outlook with your bookkeeper so they can get the information they need without asking you for it every time.

Change involves a loss of the comfortable and the familiar, and it requires that an effort be made—sometimes a considerable effort—to learn and adjust to a new way of doing things. That’s why you need to understand how you can manage it successfully.

For many workers, the workplace is not just a place to get a paycheck but also a place where they can bring their full selves to work. Employee engagement is a key measure of corporate culture and indicates how involved and committed employees are to their work, work team, and the workplace. Engaged employees are critical for a successful business and result in higher profits, more sales, lower turnover, and impact a myriad of critical indicators. While many companies have surveys and programs to address employee engagement, the manager has a major impact on employee engagement levels. In this course, we will learn how to diagnose and engage employees so they can become more committed to their work and will be less likely to leave.

Organizations grow and prosper when they encourage-and act upon-employee input. Your employees-the people who make the products, serve the customers, and perform all those essential functions-often have valuable insights into ways to save money, improve our operations, and enhance our competitive advantage. Today, we’ll focus on ways to tap into this rich source of ideas for improvement.

Leadership is an essential skill for all supervisors and managers, especially if you are new to the job. Truly successful supervisors and managers don’t “boss” their employees; they lead them.

The main objective of this session is to equip you with a model on how to be an effective leader and provide you with the information you need to develop first-class leadership skills so people will want to follow your lead.

When we hear the word “innovation,” what do we think of? Excitement, fear, unknown possibilities? Innovation certainly means change and often challenging the status quo. For many, this is extremely difficult to do. The usual ways of doing things can be quite comfortable and may have even contributed to current success. Many companies choose to augment existing products and processes rather than create something new. In this course, we will examine cutting-edge, innovative techniques used in some of the most successful companies in the world. The main objective of this session is to help you discover these practices to help you and your company succeed.

This course focuses on motivating employees to perform at their best. There’s a lot more to motivating employees than just the occasional pat on the back. Successful motivation is a daily activity that requires the use of a combination of techniques and a variety of motivators.

Negotiation is something everybody is familiar with. It’s something you use all the time in your work as well as in your personal life. For example, you negotiate with your boss so that you can hire an additional employee. You negotiate with other supervisors to coordinate the operation of your departments and work groups. You negotiate many issues with your employees from performance goals to vacation schedules. You negotiate salaries with job candidates. And after work, you go home and negotiate with your spouse over this and that and with your kids over chores and probably just about everything else. The fact is that whether you’re aware of it or not, you spend a significant part of your day negotiating. That’s why good negotiation skills are so important.

You’ve been promoted to supervisor. It’s a big job with important responsibilities. Today we’re going to talk about how you can meet those responsibilities successfully and excel as a supervisor.

Effective training of employees is essential in today’s workplace. Few people come to a job knowing exactly how to do it in a safe and responsible manner. Today’s workforce is notably mobile-most workers change not only jobs, but careers several times during their working years. We also live in a time of technological advances and rapid changes in the regulatory environment. Employers face challenges in cultivating and developing employees for the long term. For all these reasons, effective training is more important than ever. But trainers themselves need to be trained, to increase their effectiveness and their comfort level with the job. That’s what this program is all about.

This course discusses effective training in all its stages, from assessing the needs at your workplace to developing a culture where training is ongoing and seen as an essential part of every job.
