This course also introduces participants to a behavioural and attitudinal checklist to boost existing levels of employee engagement.
Methodology
A random sample of 79 Supervisors from your industry completed a survey to identify leadership gaps and/or weaknesses in the existing frontline management course. A team of organisational psychologists and leadership consultants extracted statistically significant data from the surveys to build this course.
