Educasia’s innovative learning program helps managers at Fortune Global 500 Company develop managerial skills and formulate tangible plans for improving their teams’ performance
| Client Background |
With more than one hundred years of experience, this Japanese multinational corporation is recognized as a global leader in high technology. A Fortune Global 500 company, it has a long history of leadership and innovation.
|
| Client Need: |
One of its subsidiaries in the Philippines needed to groom local managers to take over the management of the plant from its Japanese expatriates.
It required a learning program that could help these managers not only acquire in-depth business and people management skills, but also apply these skills to improve the motivation and performance of their teams. In addition, the program needed to be flexible to accommodate the busy work schedules of the company’s plant managers.
|
| The Solution |
Based on the client’s specific requirements, Educasia developed a customized program titled Managing Team and Employee Performance.
This course, which incorporated material developed by Columbia Business School, was designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage and motivate teams and drive better performance.
The course was conducted using a combination of online and face-to-face learning activities, and was facilitated by an expert Educasia instructor.
Course activities included:
Orientation session in which participants were introduced to the course topics and engaged in various exercises on managing teams
6 weeks of online, collaborative learning, during which participants learned core managerial techniques and concepts, and applied these in a variety of case situations, under the guidance of the instructor
Final, face-to-face session in which the participants presented solutions they had developed for overcoming specific people issues that they face in their businesses
|
| Results |
Based on the results of a survey that was conducted after the course:
100% of participants were satisfied with the course (58% were very satisfied)
100% of managers agreed that the course will help them do their job better (75% strongly agreed)
In addition, all participants used what they had learned from the course to develop tangible plans for improving their teams’ performance. Plans were aimed at increasing productivity, reducing defects, improving vendor management and logistics processes, and strengthening business continuity plans. Participants are now working with their supervisors to implement their proposed plans.
“The training has equipped me to better set and manage teams. I learned how to thoroughly diagnose performance problems and apply the right solutions to properly address the issues. Through different methodologies used, my expectation of establishing closer relationships with other members was achieved.”
