Kaplan 21: The Confident New Hire and The Resilient Leader training programs on KPA are designed to help tackle four issues facing organizations accelerated by a pandemic-driven remote workforce and changing commercial landscape: disruption across the business; digital dilemmas that affect process, collaboration, and managing information; disengagement of employees from a loss of shared purpose and teamwork; and diversity and inclusion to enable businesses to excel in a global marketplace.
Andrew Perkins, KPA Global Director, said, “We have been listening to business leaders and these programs have been designed to meet their urgent needs. The effects of the global crisis have accelerated the need for new workplace skills for our clients to attract and retain their best and brightest, re-engage their workforce, and regain their competitive advantage. Particularly vulnerable are new hires entering an evolving workplace. Managers will also have had to adapt to a challenging digital way of working to lead and inspire their teams.”
