Staff Training

 

For the past 21 years, Learning Initiative has been offering HR development to various businesses and organizations, primarily in the Sudbury Region. We have worked with such organizations as Cambrian College, City of Greater Sudbury, Falconbridge Extendicare, Freedom 55 Financial, Gatien-Braithwaite, Great West Life, Laurentian University, Northern Ontario School of Medicine, Rainbow District School Board, Science North, Social Planning Council, Sudbury & District Health Unit and Women In Science and Engineering (W.I.S.E.). 

Our goal is to improve the well-being of people and their workplace. We work with staff to increase interpersonal effectiveness, resolve conflicts, develop vision, mission and strategic plans, identify core values, build teams and improve work delegation and efficiency. We offer group and individual sessions. 

Half and full day workshops are adapted or custom-designed to meet the individual needs of each organization. Groups of most any size can be accommodated. 

Personal and professional development leads to confident productive staff.
