Benefits of New Engineering Manager Course
With our New Engineering Manager course being held again very soon, we spoke to our trainer Richard Fathers, about the many benefits of completing this highly popular course.
Richard Fathers explains the benefits of the New Engineering Manager course.
What does good look like?
Richard explained that although a person may be a good engineer, it doesn’t automatically mean that it will make them a good engineering manager. Often people are promoted into a managerial position with very little, if any, actual managerial training. Although the course is called New Engineering Manager, this training can actually help both individuals who are new to the role as well as more established staff that are looking to enhance their managerial skills.
How can the course help?
The course helps develop individuals deeper understanding of their role and also how they can work better as part of a team. It includes essential man-management skills to help them not only work as part of their team, but also to build the respect required to manage the team, without becoming isolated. Other skills focussed on include:
Risk based maintenance
Asset criticality
Health and safety
Compliance regulations
All areas of huge importance to any business.
The course also covers, more generally, areas of best practices, maintenance processes, work management, planning and scheduling, stores management and of course - cost management.
What are the benefits?
The benefits realised consist of more than personal development, it can bring:
Improved organisation
Better alignment
A decrease in staff turnover
Improvements in equipment performance
Improvements in product yield
Improved safety
A reduction in risk
All of these make for a better working environment, happier staff and of course, can have a positive impact on the profits of the business.
