A lot of the time new mangers are very good at doing their job, but lack in helping others to do their job well. Materials on Communication and Performance Management will be some of your best resources. Reteaching HR policies and how to manage to them is a good refresher. In my experience, teaching how to motivate employees is difficult for managers to learn. There is a lot and it can be overwhelming to try to nail down.
Workforce has some good articles to guide you, but some other supplimental stuff could be found in Skill Path (books, tapes, and seminars)and on the ASTD site. I try to find several articles that highlight a topic and then tailor it to what my company 's managers would need. And it is always helpful to have an activity that would help teach what you are training (like a role play or scenario placement) Good Luck! |

Megan has some good suggestions. Line managers usually never have too much of that type of training.
However, you have to implement whatever your organization needs. I would talk to middle-tier and upper management to get their ideas. If any training needs assessments have been conducted, dig those out and see if they are still current. Don't forget to survey the participants to see what type of training they (think they) need. I don't know your company's dynamics, but I do know from experience that management training needs to be able to flex. I recommend you first establish your agenda and then gather the materials. |

First, do a current training needs analysis with all of your managers. Find out what is really needed vs what the top executives say/think is needed. Sometimes there is a big gap with what top management wants and what a new manager really needs to perform their job effectively. A good training needs assessment can give you and top management good data. Also with data in hand, interview some 'key' managers to see how well the data fits. It may need some fine tuning.
The CM Program is looking at long-term vs what the managers need 'now' to do their job well.I use to teach the CM Program and highly recommend it. With agreement on 'training needs', establish some good, realistic 'learning objectives' and start looking for training material. You got your work cut out for you Carrie. Have some fun. Al |

I agree with the above posters.
You need to determine what the needs are of the organization before you begin to look at any programs or materials. The preparation and footwork up front will make your job that much easier and you should have buy in since the employees are telling you what they need. |

I am currently the Director of Employment and Employee Relations in a Midwestern Hospital. Through self reflection and assessment I have discovered that my "true love" is in Training and Organizational Development. I need to make a smooth transition. HELP! |
