Please could I have your advice around some training that we would like to offer a Senior Manager at work.
We would like to encourage improved people management skills and have suggested the course below.
However she will be on holiday for the May date and we would like to find a course that is earlier than August.
Are there any similar courses that you could recommend please, provided either by the CIPD or another organisation?
Thanks in advance

not an answer but a question…..
According to the course blurb:
"The course is recommended for managers at all levels in the organisation who are interested in the wellbeing of their team"
Two "concerns":
1. the course is recommended for managers at all levels….as this lady is a Senior Manager is she going to be happy if she finds herself on a course with junior team leaders and supervisors?
2. the course is recommended for managers who are interested in the wellbeing of their team. Reading between the lines of your question I infer that she is not the instigator of this training; it appears to be remedial as a result of some feedback from others…..consequently she may reject it out of hand
You may be better off providing her with some executive coaching on a discreet 1:1 basis.
Just a thought

People Management Training
If it is people management training then we offer a one day HR in a Day workshop that could be delivered on a 1:1 basis. On a 1:1 basis we can get more to the heart of the issues concerning this person particularly with a pre training questionnaire. We have had great feedback on this course in the past.

Thanks for responses
Many thanks for your responses, which were helpful. I also spoke with my manager about this.
THe manager in question had already agreed to attend the course, it's just a matter of availability. She is aware that there are different levels of managers on the course.
It looks like she will be attending the August course.
