The right management skills and training can make the difference between business success and failure. The 2002 Greater Merseyside Employer Skills Survey revealed that 28 per cent of local employers believed that their organisations had significant skills gaps and that employees, including management, were not fully proficient to do their jobs.

St Helens Chamber can help you improve the performance of your business through our management development programme. The comprehensive programme combines seminars, workshops and training courses, each focused on the key areas for your business. It can either be accessed as a whole programme, or by selecting elements according to your business needs and managers’ individual requirements. Each programme is tailor-made according to the needs of the particular manager, providing them with the knowledge to understand the business environment and their role within it.

Subject areas include:

• Business planning
• Performance appraisal and planning
• Time management
• Effective staff management
• Conflict resolution
• Problem solving techniques

Many elements of the programme are free or subsidised.

The Management Development Programme is also a valuable networking opportunity and a chance to share best practice with personnel from other companies, sharing solutions to common
business problems.

We can also provide guidance on a range of management qualifications to suit your business and your managers.
