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.
