Managing Upwards

What is this workshop about?

The relationship between an employee and their next level manager is the most critical interaction in the workplace.  It makes sense (for both employees and the organisation) to ensure this relationship is working well.  This is achieved by providing all the support needed to develop effective communication between themselves and their manager or supervisor.  It can also only enhance your organisation for employees to know how to actively manage the impression they make and how to ‘sell’ issues upwards.   Topics for this program include:
