Within the Training Academy a range of sessions focus on management skills for new and current people managers, includes building and leading a team effectively, managing employee performance and mentoring and coaching. In 2008 they introduced 360 feedback into the annual appraisal process for our management grades, with feedback from line managers, peers and direct reports, ensuring managers and leaders have the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to successfully manage their teams and achieve their personal and career aspirations. This includes Equality and Diversity awareness. As part of the Leadership Programme they have included SDI profiling for each of the delegates to help them understand their style of working, how they interact with people who work in a different style and how their style can influence others and their team.
