- Outline of proposed project
We're proposing to create a confidence-inspiring, meaningful and accessible Manager’s Toolkit. This will primarily be for all people managers, but it will also be accessible to all staff for transparency and themed as follows: You as a manager, Recruitment and induction, Managing your staff, Transition and exit.
The Toolkit will be web-based, with a variety of interactive learning aids, which will require regular updating, a feedback or comments facility and a ‘news feed’ to highlight relevant changes.
