2023_Management Fundamentals | 6/14, 6/15, & 6/16

June 14, 2023 - June 16, 2023
09:00 am - 04:00 pm Pacific Time

Virtual Class

No Seats Remaining

This class is designed for managers in professional services, technology, finance, and insurance organizations, as well as other industries with a similar workforce.

Gallup reports that 1 in 2 employees have left their job to get away from their manager and that 70% of the variance between high and low employee engagement is caused 
by managers.

The good news is that managers can dramatically boost their effectiveness by using consistent models for everyday management activities.

And since the repeated practice of a skill significantly improves its retention and on-the-job application, Management Fundamentals includes structured activities where participants actively practice the skills they gain during the class. 

Through real-world case studies, group discussions, and breakout sessions, attendees will share this experience with managers from similar work environments.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Improve communication with employees at all levels of the organization
  • Give objective, results-based feedback
  • Improve substandard performance and retain high performers through coaching
  • Increase quantity and quality of work completed through delegation 
  • Promote employee fairness and company protection with thorough documentation
  • Foster teamwork and make effective decisions as a team

Note: Management Fundamentals is based on our most popular class, Supervisory Skills, and overlaps with the following standalone classes: Leadworker Effectiveness, Feedback for Success, Coaching for Success, Delegating and Setting Expectations, and Discipline and Documentation.

This three day class is on June 14, 15, & 16.

Our live, instructor-led classes are designed for, and rely on, active participation to ensure a quality learning experience. Because of this, these sessions will not be paused and will not be recorded for future use or reference.

 

Technology Minimums for Attending Virtual Training

Archbright provides virtual training to our members so that they can attend courses from most anywhere, but each attendee must ensure that they are working from a location that has the necessary connectivity to the internet to facilitate participation.

Internet connectivity minimums

To ensure that you have a positive experience attending an Archbright University virtual course, you should verify that your internet connectivity provides a minimum of 5 Megabits per second (Mbps) in upload speed. Most internet packages for home-use are advertised by their download speed and not upload speed, and while this can be important for streaming movies or music, it isn’t the only consideration. For using WebEx, Skype for Business, or any VTC solution, the upload speed is just as important as the download speed.

How can I tell what I currently have?

If you are unsure what you currently have, please reach out to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and request the information directly.

If they are unable to give you that information, please visit www.speedtest.net while connected to the internet in the same manner you intend to attend the virtual training…and perform a speed test.

Wireless technology minimums

Additionally, if you connect wirelessly, as many of us do, make sure your wireless router can broadcast at the same speed as your upload speed, if not even higher.

Wireless routers can broadcast at over 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) these days, and many companies don't upgrade your router when you upgrade service. This often means that your wireless speeds are significantly lower than the upload speed that is available to you. This can cause significant issues with using WebEx over your wireless connection.

Other considerations

Remember that each device connected to the internet in your location is taking some of that download and upload capability and wireless connectivity. If you have many devices in your network, it is recommended to have significantly higher speeds to accommodate the increased traffic.

Please contact your internal IT team if you have any questions.
