Format

Certificate Workshop in Practitioner Skills for Facilitation held twice a year (December & July)

 

Context

Talented Employees need great facilitators to bring out the best in them.

In today's highly competitive world of work, effectively managing employees is often a daunting task. Workplace stress levels have risen, fueled by a number of factors. Not only does this emerge in the corporate sector, but so also in the developmental / social sector where having to work with limited infrastructure & resources adds to the stressful environment. Together, the developmental / social sector, the corporate sector and the large public institutions / government constitute the totality of organisations each serving society in their own way. Employees in all the above, now have employment opportunities available to them all over the world and retaining them is a challenge.

Large number of supervisors managers and leaders are realising that autocratic authority and power simply do not work. To become engaged with their work, people need to know where they fit in the organisation and have the freedom & support to make meaningful decisions and contribute innovative ideas. It is here that supervisors, managers be they in the corporate or in the development sector, are called upon to facilitate the sustained growth of their employees.

In summary, development professionals, CSR managers, supervisors, and change agents now are expected to exercise various facilitative roles.
