“NATIONAL MANAGEMENT TRAINING WEEK”

Jul 16th “NATIONAL MANAGEMENT TRAINING WEEK”

The third full week in August queues up the processes that businesses and organizations need during National Management Training Week.

The week invests in the knowledge and talents of the people businesses entrust with the role of manager. Every organization, from small businesses to non-profits and civic groups, promote employees internally. Many managers often find themselves in leadership roles because they were performing well in their entry-level position (or line-level job).

According to Bloomleaders, 77% of corporations experienced leadership gaps in 2019. Employees typically seek jobs at companies that have leadership development, statistics show. But employers seek candidates that already have some form of leadership skills. This is because management doesn’t always have the time or money to train employees to develop their leadership skills. Because of this never-ending (not to mention vicious!) cycle, the stats just keep on getting worse and worse. Therefore the primary goal of the week is to help businesses place management skills before leadership. By giving managers the tools and skills to be managers and supervisors, they will lead their teams to success.

Another key goal behind the week is transforming the human back in human resources. Lisa I. Perez, the founder of HBL Resources, Inc., says she wants “every employee to walk out of their manager’s office with their dignity intact.” And that’s no matter how tough the conversation has to be.

National Management Training Week hopes to create productive conversations in our workforce that lead to improved management training practices and the development of excellent managers.

Businesses, organizations, and employees are invited to join the celebration. Review your current internal promotion process and consider how it can be improved. Other ways to take part in the week include:
