Management Development Training Case Study with Mears
Mears Group, a rapidly expanding UK business in social housing maintenance and domiciliary care, partnered with a training provider to implement a robust development program for its management team.
Summary:
- Challenge: Mears required a learning solution, spread over a year, to provide multiple events dovetailing with internal topics and conforming to ILM standards. The solution had to account for diverse business dynamics and prioritise practical application over theory.
- Solution: A series of year-long interventions were designed for each organisational level. The profilingchoices.com tool was used for self-reflection and understanding others, complemented by events focusing on leadership, people management, and interpersonal effectiveness. The program culminated in a business simulation event and project presentation to Mears’ senior professionals.
- Results: The program was well-received, leading to its extension into the second year, doubling the number of programs run, with further growth scheduled for the third year.
This successful partnership underscores the effectiveness of practical, level-specific learning solutions in promoting managerial development and business growth.
The Ripple Effect: How People Influence Each Other
Humans are inherently social beings, constantly interacting and shaping the world around them. Whether we realise it or not, our actions, words, and even our mere presence have a profound impact on those we come into contact with. From the way we dress to the ideas we share, the influence we exert on others is a powerful force that can shape their thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
