Social and affordable housing kitchen supplier Rixonway Kitchens provided a management training programme to 25 members of its 500-strong staff.
The manufacturer partnered with Yorkshire-based Selection Training to offer the Institute of Leadership and Management Level 2 Award in Leadership and Team Skills to its employees across 20 one-day sessions.
The training was designed to give Rixonway team leaders and chargehands from the factory shop floor the chance to further develop their career progression and improve workforce motivation.
“This training gave all of us an opportunity to pinpoint areas of improvement and really work on our own management skills to provide better and more efficient ways of working for all employees,” said Rixonway warehouse team leader Steve Bond.
The company plans on rolling out more training programmes – including customer services, estimating, buying, transport and administration – across different departments later this year.
