The programme is designed to give management teams the necessary skills to manage, motivate and engage employees, particularly during times of change and in demanding environments. It is aimed at plant managers, group leaders, and functional managers with close links to the Automotive business line. Spread over two full days, the programme covers:* Change management;* Understanding of employee motivation and engagement techniques;* Tools and techniques for appropriate communication in complex & sensitive situations;* Working in multi-cultural teams* Automotive business case & quality planning. Each delegate must also complete "homework" in the form of a number of modules after returning to their workplace which is integrated into the overall programme. “Capable leaders at all levels of our business are critical to our continued success," said VP HR Automotive Annette Kelleher.Despite continued pressure and focus on cost management and improved productivity, Mike Fallon and the AMB are fully committed to the development of our global teams as we prepare for Phase 2 of our journey.”
