This course is aimed at managers and supervisors with responsibility for employees who will from time to time be absent from work. Sometimes that absence is health related, at other times it is not. It will look at causes of absence and preventative measures which can be taken to reduce absence. The session will be very participative and will include group work, question / answer sessions, and lectures to provide a practical guide to monitoring and controlling all types of absence.
Due to the nature of this subject we must agree that all discussions during the course will be treated in the strictest confidence and that people should be allowed to contribute only as much as they feel comfortable sharing with the group.

Get the New Year off to a great start. When you started your career learning focused on skills to do things, then techniques to develop professional competence. Once you get to be a leader, personal development tends to focus on briefings, seminars and updates of information or ideas. This session gives you the chance to stop and reflect on all your characteristics from your personal skill set, understanding of current approaches and techniques as well as your own knowledge pool and search techniques. Using self-development questionnaires, drawing from real experiences and self-mentoring, we will help you identify what aspects you wish to develop further and introduce you to reflective techniques to ensure you get maximum learning everyday from doing the job.

With Mental Resilience, we help people to cope with pressure and achieve peak performance. Well now for something completely different – Team Resilience: a way of applying the concepts of mental toughness to teams in transition! Whether it be through restructure, redundancies, or growth, teams are finding that they have a new set of members with some playing different roles from those that they adopted before. Mental toughness principles can help teams make that shift from the known to the unknown, and deal with baggage and resistance, especially when things need to change quickly.
This course will look at the 4 C’s of mental toughness, Control, Challenge, Commitment and Confidence, identifying how these impact on individuals and the team as a whole and how you can use them to build a strong functioning team.
