Well-trained bosses a boost to business

RUNNING a small business can seem like a challenging but exciting enterprise.

Just you, a small team, perhaps even people you know well, and off you go.

However, if you have people ready to step up to be managers or supervisors, you’ll know that actual managing of staff can be one of the most difficult aspects of a manager’s role.

It is still common that staff are promoted from within the company due to their skills and abilities to do the job.

However, they are often offered little or no support on how to manage a team and can quickly become bogged down with staff issues, particularly where there is no dedicated HR department.

Therefore, it is vital to organisational success that managers and supervisors are trained.

They have to appreciate employee relations and understand how to motivate and lead staff to perform to the best of their abilities.

Investing in training is investing in your business and you will quickly see the benefits of well-trained managers and supervisors.

Dundee-based SCRSolutions Ltd has developed a new “How-to HR” training programme to help you deal with day-today employee issues.

Designed to follow the employee life cycle, the training programme will ensure managers and supervisors are equipped to manage all kinds of issues within the constraints of employment legislation, giving your business extra protection against expensive employment tribunal claims.

Director Jeni McCabe says “the ‘How-to HR’ programme has been developed over time and focuses on the top issues that our clients are faced with.

“Training managers and supervisors in these areas will help to ensure better performance from all staff. It will also give supervisors and managers the skills they need to deal with people management.”

The half-day sessions are available as a package or simply drop-in for the areas that you require.

Starting this month, the sessions are offered once per month although dedicated training can be offered to businesses with four or more attendees.

Discounts are also offered for multiple session bookings.

If you think your business could benefit from this training, the first step would be to visit www.SCRSolutions.co.uk or contact Jeni McCabe on 01382 250333.

Could be a smart move.
