Duration: 90 minutes
Speakers: Ruth Ross
The economy is slowly turning around, but this news is not entirely good for employers. When the economic recovery is strong enough, many of your best employees will leave you for other jobs. Why will this happen? The number one reason people leave their jobs, even in a bad economy, is due to their manager or supervisor. Given this statistic, it is surprising how few resources (both dollars and time) are spent on teaching managers how to manage. Even more concerning is how little time and attention senior executives personally give to their most important corporate asset. The good news is that you can do something about it If you pay attention to your organizations' greatest asset … your managers.
New managers don't just wake up one day knowing how to manage. They need effective training. This webinar will give you the keys to creating a better corps of skilled managers, leading to a more engaged and productive workforce.
