Investing in your managers is extremely important for an organization. A poor performing manager can affect the morale and productivity of their employees and this could, in turn, lead to poor performance within a whole department, and high turnover, which hurts the entire company.
Looop is a next-generation learning platform that focuses on performance and productivity. Built for the modern workforce, Looop gives businesses the tools they need to best equip new managers for their roles.
Take a look at just some of the many ways Looop can support your new manager training:
Workplace learning is getting smarter, so it’s important to ensure your software can keep up. A lot of new manager training centers around piling workers with generic content, instead of the more important things like actual problems that occur within the organization.
Looop is user-focused and centers on the approach of addressing the real-life problems of workers and how to address them with quick, easy-to-implement solutions.
By using digital resources, you focus on providing short, digestible chunks of information to help get your new managers up to speed as quickly as possible.
It’s understandable to expect your new managers to feel apprehensive about going into their new role, and Looop is here to support the organization with getting your workers productive without the fuss.
Looop serves as a permanent bank of information, that is accessible anytime, anywhere. By providing software that can easily be accessed online, your new managers can get started with their training before they’ve even moved into their role and begin to tackle any concerns straight away.
Your new managers don’t have to worry about coming into their new role with hundreds of questions or not knowing where to find the answers. Using Looop to create digital resources saves admin time and costs, as resources are easy to update and keep relevant, so your workers know the information they are being given is up to date and aligned with the rest of the company.
This also aligns your training with problems as they arise, and keeps the conversation flowing within the organization. L&D teams should be regularly speaking to new starters about their concerns to ensure they’re addressing these within the digital resources.
Your new managers are going to have a lot of questions about their new roles, and whilst it’s important to unpack these into digital resources, it’s also extremely valuable connecting them with other managers in the company. With Looop, you can schedule and manage face-to-face events, so those important connections won’t be missed due to time conflicts and busy schedules.
By connecting your people, not only is there the opportunity for your new managers to see how their role could progress or the impact of being a good manager, there is also the chance for them to receive further support and understanding of ‘what managers need to succeed here’.
Use the knowledge of your existing managers to address any further day-to-day issues and to provide invaluable expertise that further helps to guide new managers through even the toughest situations.
You should be continuously looking for ways to improve your new manager training to best prepare new hires for their roles.
Ask your existing employees questions to shape your future digital resources. These could include:
Focus your efforts on constantly looking for ways to provide better training and make sure your workers know their views are valued and heard.
With Looop, users can rate every resource and add comments to provide further feedback. This enables L&D workers to be able to start new conversations straight away and put that feedback into practice. By implementing this process, you’ll promote a culture of sharing as well as giving your new managers the confidence of knowing that their best interests are at the forefront of your training and that your organization is delivering the best New Manager Training possible.
Your new manager training should focus on the moments of need and address real issues in real-time. Using our tips above and a next-generation platform like Looop that focuses on ‘better doing’ by using digital resources is the first step to transforming your training program and getting your new managers up to speed quickly and efficiently.
