L&D: how to become an effective & communicative manager

How often do you overlook the importance of communication? It’s probably more than you think. Well, how about this – 70% of people believe that wasted time is the worst consequence of poor communication.

That’s why we’re holding a learning & development webinar, all about the importance of effective communication for managers. Join Breathe, together with Dragons’ Den contender, best-selling author and named one of 50 women who are changing the world today, Claire Brumby and HR sensation and Learning & Development Manager, Katy Wade from Bespoke HR.

We talk to Claire about her own experiences as a business owner, as well as to Katy from an HR perspective - both focusing on how to develop managers into effective communicators.

When 84% of employees rely on their manager for communication, businesses and HR can’t afford for this to go wrong. From the impact communication has on retention, wellbeing, burnout and performance, it’s time to talk about effective communication, essential skills and feedback.

By creating a work environment where we talk openly and clearly, we can tackle challenges, make decisions, and keep moving forward as high-performing businesses.

We cover:

Why effective communication is important
Essential communication skills managers need
The importance of feedback (and getting it right)
Training and learning tools to use in your business
And much more
