Equipping staff with management skills in order to meet the needs of clients and service users, the need to keep pace with change and the role of training in developing and retaining staff are some examples of when your organisation may need training services.

Mellor Lawrie Management have built their reputation by devising and delivering a series of accessible management development training programmes.

Courses are tailored to meet the needs of the organisation. These can range from a one or two day course on a particular issue to a programme which includes the full range of skills required to be an effective manager.

The focus of all the training work is enabling participants to acquire and practice skills and techniques that they can use at work, or, in the case of trustees, which will improve the governance of the organisation. The courses are practical, participative and are backed up by relevant notes to take away.

Organisations may wish to run courses for their own staff and trustees but sometimes it makes sense to join with other similar local groups to share costs and ensure sufficient numbers. In some cases it may be more appropriate for the work to be commissioned on a regional or national basis.
