Course Overview

Making the transition from doing work yourself to supervising and managing others can feel overwhelming at the start. It wasn’t that long ago you were working alongside your colleagues as one of the team and now you’ve been given the role of supervisor or team leader. For many new supervisors this can be a real challenge.

How to Manage and Motivate Your Team (for new supervisors) is a course designed to help minimise the stress of being a new manager, by targeting five specific areas. You’ll learn to successfully handle staff, manage team projects, conflicts and manage your own time and priorities. Many attendees have told us that this is the training they should have received at the very beginning of their new role, not months or years after starting and struggling.

Why Learn Online?

Learning new skills online can be perfect for organisations and employees for the following reasons:

You only have one or a few employees to train and develop (on a specific training topic)
Getting a trainer to your location could be difficult or cost-prohibitive
The employees you want to train work from home or are part-time
You don’t have the resources to cover for the employees you want to be trained, so allowing them to the training online means they won’t need to leave their work areas
Your training budget is limited, and online learning is more cost-effective
You want your people trained in a wide range of skills this year,’s online learning provides much better value to get everyone involved in learning and developing themselves.
