Survival Skills for Managers in Community Supports - Management I

Managers in community supports often have the toughest, most stressful jobs in our field. But it doesn't need to be so hard! This interactive, one-day training will present a tool-kit for managers to help them survive, and even thrive. We will talk about creating a vision to empower your staff to do their jobs better and more effectively, build teams that compliment your leadership style and needs as a manager, using quality assurance as a day to day management system, looking at other day to day management systems, and understanding the Annex A to minimize staff turnover. This training is a must-have for new managers, and a chance for seasoned managers to hone their skills and learn some new perspectives.
