Program Overview: Current and future workplace challenges ask a lot from leaders and supervisors. Male supervisors in skilled trades identified the need to learn how to create inclusive work environments, suitable for both women, men and gender non-binary people. This course has been created and designed based on feedback and needs expressed by tradespeople.

 

Who Should Attend:

• Male supervisors and leaders who want to strengthen their leadership skills for effective communication and networking both inside and outside their organization.
• Leaders who want to influence the workplace culture in a positive way.

 

Learn, Practice and Apply:

• How to create a workforce that supports and includes women and the male leaders working with them.
• How to communicate and interact with women and those different from ourselves; what to say, what not to say, how to respond.
• What the workforce will look like over the next 10 years and how you can fit into what is happening.
• What role male supervisors can play in supporting teams on the worksite.
• How to deal with conflict when things come up.

 

Action-Based Learning:
