BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF OUR PEOPLE MANAGERS
This year we launched a leading-edge people manager
development programme designed to provide people
managers with the skills and knowledge they need to
manage their direct reports’ performance, engagement
and development effectively. The programme is a three-
and-a-half-day module delivered over a three-month period
and includes the use of a 180 degree feedback tool to
help managers understand their own personal gaps and
measure their progress over time.
The programme was developed following a review of
best practice both within the industry and beyond and
through consultation with our current managers in the form
of a series of focus groups looking at current skills gaps.
To date 172 people managers have completed the
programme with evaluations averaging 8.9 out of 10.
‘this is the best programme I have attended during
my career’
‘a really great reminder of the management fundamentals.
This has helped me to prioritise the areas I need to improve on’
The programme recently gained accreditation from
the University of Bedfordshire. Participants now receive
a ‘fundamentals of management’ certificate from the
University. Those wishing to continue studying, on
satisfactory completion of a personal development plan,
can gain credits towards a Masters level programme
(e.g. MBA). The University acknowledged that the
programme was ‘very well thought out, promoting personal
development with a knowledge of corporate impact and
containing robust and well researched underpinning’.
