Are you a Norfolk manufacturer based outside of Norwich and Great Yarmouth City Centre?
You might be eligible for 50% skills funding!
Labour and skills shortages are widely recognised as a huge concern and financial drain for Norfolk businesses. In recognition of the need to support Norfolk manufacturer’s productivity and growth, Cassandra Andrews Ltd has developed an ‘Engaging Manufacturing for Growth’ programme to ensure you have a talent and succession plan to support the growth of your manufacturing business.
The programme is currently being considered for 50% funding from the European Social Fund and in consequence would offer a significant discount and value for money.
Rather than providing line management ‘skills training’ in isolation, the programme will look holistically at your business, identifying your business challenges and focusing on achieving success through your workforce. The programme will support you with a way forward that is flexible, adaptable and driven by you including:
- An on-site review of current engagement levels in your business, based on the Engage for Success enablers.
- Motivational Maps for the management team to identify what individual managers are motivated by and to what extent their key motivators are being met.
- A simple review of current people management practices.
- An action plan aligned to business priorities with key metrics to monitor success of the programme eg absence/turnover rates, productivity, H&S accidents etc
- A bespoke line managers skills development programme, including three days formal training and three days on-site coaching. This will be created and delivered from a menu of short courses/sessions such as motivating and engaging your team, performance management, absence management etc
Professional development has proven effective in retaining top talent, maintaining quality levels, and achieving competitive advantage. In addition, it is widely reported that 75% of employees leave their line manager not the business. As this is one of the four drivers for engaged employees, it is critical for your bottom line that all line managers understand the key business benefits of an engaged workforce and how to lead, motivate and engage their teams.
