Course Overview:
A puppy is trained to fetch a ball and perform tricks with great patience and support. Coaching staff involves being a patient guide and role model; sometimes a counsellor; and always a supporter. Coaching is based on a partnership that involves giving both support and challenging opportunities to employees. Knowing how and when to coach is an essential skill that can benefit both you and your organisation. Employees who feel they are valued and recognised for the work they do are more motivated, responsible, and productive.
This workshop will help supervisors and managers create a more dynamic, loyal and energised workplace. It is designed specifically to help busy managers and supervisors understand what employees want, and to give them a starting point for creating champions.
