Description

12 PDUs

Good supervisors contribute directly to a positive working environment and help employees perform well, while feeling competent. The challenge resides in achieving the proper balance between supervising people and accomplishing one's tasks. In most cases, people promoted to the role of supervisor are knowledgeable about the technical aspects associated with the work, but they are then called to manage people, each person as complex as the next. With these challenges in hand, knowing how to achieve a high productivity level is not always obvious. This intensive workshop will explore the competencies that are essential to the efficient management and supervision of staff on a daily basis, and will provide proven techniques and tools that produce results.

This workshop requires active participation by everyone.

This workshop is recognized by the Project Management Institute (PMI)® and as such will provide 12 PDUs (Professional Development Units) / contact hours towards attaining or maintaining the Project Management Professional (PMP)® designation.

Professional Development Units are allocated according to the number of training hours completed by the student and may be granted by increments of 0.25 PDU for each 15 minutes of training. A participation certificate will be given to students who attend a minimum of 90% of the course.

*PMI is a registered mark of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
