Management & Leadership Development

Effective management and leadership skills are essential to our success as an organization. Organization and Staff Development provides a number of developmental programs for managers within the system:

Management Development Workshops

The Management and Leadership Development workshops and seminars are intended for managers and supervisors as well as employees who;

  • have been identified by their manager as potential successors for future management positions and/or;
  • have received approval from their manager to attend workshops for further professional development.

These workshops and seminars provide practical tools for health sector managers and supervisors, giving them access to the knowledge and skills they need to handle issues and challenges they face on a daily basis.

These sessions are developed to reflect the realities of the health sector environment, and most often are delivered by individuals who work within our system and have extensive practical health-sector experience with the subject matter being presented.
