Why invest in professional development? Why invest in training managers?
Save time & money: Highly-trained managers are more efficient, resulting in higher engagement and lower attrition, → less time spent recruiting.
Retain top performers: ~70% of team engagement is determined by the manager. 94 percent of employees say they would stay at a company longer if it invested in helping them learn. (Sources: Gallup & LinkedIn)
Grow & mentor your team: Give ICs a path toward promotion; reduce the need to layer. Reduce time spent explaining administrative tasks.
Do you offer group discounts for teams or companies?
Yes. To discuss, schedule time with the founder, Michelle.
