By exploring these areas, participants will learn how to build a resilient and positive organizational culture that supports both employees and the organization during times of change. The modules on mentoring, coaching, and performance management provide tools for leaders to guide and support their teams effectively.

Lastly, the training covers the vital aspects of employee wellbeing and continuous improvement.
