Great leaders know that what made them successful in past positions isn’t necessarily what will fuel success when managing others. In this foundational 2-hour interactive session, we explore the manager role and best practices to lead, develop, and engage others. A management self-assessment provides insight and focus to support professional development. From effective one-on-ones to addressing performance concerns, we cover the “how to’s” and the “what if’s” while gaining tips, tools, and templates to support sustained management success. Swift HR Solutions partners with your organization to incorporate your own processes while emphasizing key points relevant to your unique team.

Are your leaders fostering a workplace of respect and inclusion where everyone can thrive? As stewards of the organization’s culture, leaders have a significant role in preventing and navigating behaviors that marginalize people and derail engagement.

When we ask for and receive feedback graciously, we model the way for a healthy feedback culture.
