Management training for staff is the most poorly resourced area of staff development within the charitable sector. Often staff are appointed to a management role with little or no training and are expected to lead their team effectively through the trials and tribulations of the not-for-profit sector. This interactive DVD encapsulates one of Empower’s most popular courses and is a must for current managers and those wishing to move into a management role. Packed full of advice and strategies, including a role play exercise on Effective Supervision, this is an extremely worthwhile investment for any organisation.
Designed for Community Development Workers, Outreach Workers and Volunteers the course explores how to engage with communities who appear not to want to get involved. How to say “No” and avoid burn out and what to do if things go wrong. We revisit Belbins’ ‘Forming’, ‘Storming’, ‘Norming’ and ‘Performing’ and show you how to lead groups through these stages. Finally we look at the levels of participation and how to identify true community activity from pure tokenism.
Based on the NCVO good trustee guide this DVD takes you through all the elements of good governance and allows your directors, board of trustees or committee to explore the issues they need to consider and create the structures that will enable them to be effective and accountable. Massively empowering this course enables board members to collectively work to develop a governance model which will support their organisation. It includes roles and responsibilities of trustees; effective decision making; characteristics of an effective board and an analysis of the current position. Extremely well researched this course offers a model of good practice in governance for the 3rd Sector.
This course has already made a positive impact on the work of over 100 project managers who are responsible for managing complex or multiple projects. We explore the often competing needs of the funder and service user, develop strategies to engage stakeholders and take positive action to monitor and manage risk. This course shows you what to do if things go wrong and how to ensure the community remains supportive and engaged.
The course includes managing project costs, creating milestones and understanding and evidencing project targets. Easy to understand, it takes you through all the important steps and shows you how to avoid the pitfalls.
Maximising Income from Community Assets Interactive DVD introduction: Community Asset transfer should be more accurately described as Community Liability Transfer; because unless you are taking on a building which from Day 1 has attached to it an income which exceeds the expenditure, it is by any definition a liability.
Empower has delivered this extremely valuable training to well over 1,000 people and it continues to be a very popular course. You can access this training again and again to train staff and volunteers as and when you need it with this Interactive DVD and toolkit.
