NATIONAL MANAGEMENT TRAINING WEEK
In August, the third full week of August queues the processes that businesses and organizations need during National Management Training Week.
#NationalManagementTrainingWeek
Every day, organizations entrust managers with responsibilities that directly affect employee performance, engagement, retention, and workplace culture. Yet many managers are promoted because they excelled in their previous roles, not because they were prepared to lead people. They know the work, but they may not have been taught how to communicate expectations, give feedback, navigate difficult conversations, hold employees accountable, or build a productive team.
Managers should not have to figure out these responsibilities on their own.
National Management Training Week encourages businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other employers to invest in the people they have entrusted to manage others. The observance calls attention to the importance of developing practical management skills and providing People Managers with the training, tools, and support they need to lead with competence and confidence.
Advanced Mission
National Management Training Week also advances the mission of “Transforming the Human in Human Resources®.” Founder Lisa I. Perez believes that every employee should be able to walk out of their manager’s office with their dignity intact, no matter how difficult the conversation may be.
By strengthening the people responsible for guiding employees each day, National Management Training Week seeks to create healthier workplaces, stronger teams, and better-prepared managers who can bring out the best in the people they lead.
