Supervisor/Crew Leaders - Leadership Skills (Spanish)
Keep your supervisors and crew leaders inspired and equipped by sending them to this annual training! With the high cost of labor, the return on your investment hinges on whether your supervisors/crew leaders can inspire and motivate workers. Your operation will only be at its best when your workers begin to see business success as a part of how they define personal success and job satisfaction. This track focuses on how to become better managers who foster and create a workplace that brings out the best in your workforce. Through role-playing exercises and discussion of management theories and practices, your leaders will learn communication skills and identify areas for improvement in their management of others. They will learn how to identify and address problems promptly, when and how to administer discipline, strategies for dealing with outside influences, and how to avoid and respond to labor unrest. Keep your labor force leaders motivated and send them to a location near you!
