Leadership and Management Skills Help Fight Downturn

Over the last 6 months, Recrion's career management team has advised and helped over 300 individuals affected by redundancy to deal with change and gain access to funding schemes such as R2R.

As the year comes to an end, more and more of our clients are requesting funding for management development as reduced workforces put pressure on those at the top to meet targets and work with staff who are suffering from low morale, motivation and performance.

Business and their management teams are going through a very painful process. What they need most is clear leadership from their directors, and strong communication skills in order to get buy-in from their staff.

In October 2008, we responded to our clients requests for funded outplacement support for their employees by actively promoting and facilitating the R2R scheme in the East of England.

We are now pleased to be able to partner with TCHC to help our clients access Leadership funding.

The Leadership & Management programme targets key decision makers within an organisation and provides funding to improve their skills to help them lead their business through challenging times.  Working with TCHC’s advisers Recrion works with businesses to develop training programmes that directly address skills gaps within their organisation.

Leadership and Management is a one off grant to SME’s (5-249 employees) of up to £1,000 to develop key decision makers, senior managers or directors in the East of England. The Leadership and Management programme is funded by the Learning and Skills Council as an extension of the government’s flagship training service, Train to Gain.
