9:00 KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Use Communication and Transparency to Build Trust with Your Employees

Presenting a strong, focused and positive message to your workforce has always been an essential management tool. However, in such fast changing times, new approaches between employee-employer communications are needed. Many organizations have been hit with layoffs, re-structuring and budget cuts. In order to maximize employee productivity, effective communication strategies must be executed, for an uninformed employee will either become disengaged because they do not know what is expected from them or they simply feel left out of the bigger picture. Transparency, a vision for the future and optimism are key ingredients that must be included in a strong communications plan.

• Harness successful case studies in which companies have reworked their communication plan to better relate to their workers

• Determine what vehicles of communication are best in addressing times of change: Town hall meetings, intranet or small group meetings

• Learn to erase doubt among your employees by presenting a clear picture so they understand how certain changes will affect

their responsibilities

“Very effective & good information shared. Great ideas & examples,

tools to be used.”

– Luis FernandezHuman Resources Manager, Reser’s Fine Foods

In-House Training: One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s

educational offerings is the delivery of on-site trainings and

management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation

in-house gives you the opportunity to customize a program

that addresses your exact challenges and provides a more

personal learning experience, while virtually eliminating travel

expenses. Whether you require training for a small group or

for an organizational-wide initiative, the advanced learning

methods employed by the Institute will create an intimate

training atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to

enhance the talent within your organization.

Customization: We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying

an “off-the-shelf” solution. While many training providers

will offer you some variation of their standard training, the

Institute’s subject matter experts will work with you and your

team to examine your programs and determine your exact

areas of need. The identifi cation of real life examples will create

a learning atmosphere that resonates with participants while

at the same time providing immediate return on your training

investment. Using interactive exercises that employ actual

projects or scenarios from your organization, instructors

can address specifi c challenges and align the curriculum of

each session to your objectives. While the majority of on-

site trainings are focused on smaller groups, the Institute

also has the ability to accommodate organization-wide

training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, the Institute

has the capacity to deliver courses to groups of up to 300

participants per day.

Areas of Expertise: On-site delivery of single courses, certifi cation programs and entire

packages of specialized courses are available in the following areas:
