Virtual Workshop Empowers
New Leaders in Finance

After conducting their semi-annual employee net promoter survey, this organization found a growing need to teach their newly hired managers their leadership standards. They partnered with Infopro Learning to create a virtual workshop that would focus on the following key topics:

• Familiarize new managers with the organization’s leadership standards
• Promote networking among peer groups
• Provide mentorship and support for first-time leaders

Infopro Learning worked with this industry-leading finance corporation to develop 4 half-day virtual workshops that focused on closing skills gaps in 8 key areas.

• Encouraging Participation
  The program was formatted as four separate half-day virtual workshops spread over four months. This scheduling flexibility allowed newly appointed managers to join the program anytime during the year.
• Increasing Learner Engagement
  The program begins with a personal message from senior executives to activate engagement. The workshop is then facilitated and includes group activities, discussions, and polls.
• Improving Knowledge Retention
  After the initial workshop, participants are encouraged to use the resources hub website and manager guide to learn and practice their new skills further.

The virtual leadership workshops were a success. The program was well received by all participants and led to a significant improvement in both the manager's skills and confidence levels.

• Increased confidence levels:
  75% of participants shared that the workshop boosted their confidence in their leadership capabilities.
• Real-time application:
  100% of participants stated they could implement the workshop's lessons immediately.
• Positively received:
  97% of participants deemed the program a valuable use of their time.
