Something New in Training for Busy Managers & Supervisors

Posted By: Jeanie Hagen-Greene No Comments November 11, 2009

For the past 16 years I have been helping organizations develop their employee “people skills.” One of the most common concerns I hear about training today is time – time away from the employees’ work area both to attend a workshop and travel time if applicable. I believe I have a solution: Power Hour sessions.

In these one-hour sessions, learning focuses on conversation – creating connecting conversations where managers and supervisors can learn about techniques and practices to help them do their jobs. These sessions accommodate up to 15 participants and can be scheduled at any convenient hour of the workday.

One recent Power Hour senior manager said “I’m glad my management team members are discussing this topic together,” and one participant commented “I’ve never thought about this topic in that way before and it’s really helpful.” Participants leave with a one or two page handout outlining key concepts and action steps they will take after the session.

These sessions don’t replace traditional workshops, however, they provide a bridge until the economy and staffing levels give us a little more breathing room and time. Give one a try and see how Power Hours can solve your training time dilemma!
