The New People Manager Training is a one-day in-company training where we will train your people to be a successful people manager. 

You have a strong account manager. You are happy with his/her performance. The relation with the customer is great and targets are met. It is time for a promotion and to make the role a bit heavier he or she is given a direct report. And then all of a sudden, things change. The account manager starts to struggle. The direct report is not happy… A pity for everyone involved!

Although some people know by nature how to manage a direct report, most people just deserve a proper training before starting this new exciting chapter in their career.

Berna Schoonderwoerd and Kim van Wijk - Hermus have developed a one-day (in-company) training for the new people managers in your organization. Your employees will be exposed to relevant theories like effective listening skills, successful coaching and learn to work with basics like: effective 1:1’s, goal setting, how to set-up a development plan for your direct report, feedback conversations etc. They will get helpful tips and tricks and will practice intensively in break-out groups. To make sure that the content is integrated in their daily work routine, there will be a 1:1 follow-up with all participants after 2 months.

Berna Schoonderwoerd has 15 years of experience in HR, with a specialization in learning & development. After 13 years at P&G and Coty Berna is now successfully working as HR Interim manager & trainer.

Kim van Wijk – Hermus has 18 years of experience in Marketing, Sales and General Management.

The combination of Berna and Kim gives a dynamic approach to the training of both HR theory and examples from real-life.
