Elite People Manager Certificate

 


The USF St. Petersburg classes are offered in partnership with the USF Bishop Center for Ethical Leadership.



The leaders of most successful companies know that people managers are the key to their success. Good people managers know how to foster employee engagement and retention. Great people managers are skilled in supporting each individual that they manage in order to achieve their goals as an organization. USF trained Elite People Managers are equipped to take ordinary performing teams and turn them into extraordinary, super teams who exceed company and customer expectations.

Marcus Buckingham famously says "people don't leave companies they leave managers". HR Professionals Magazine says "front-line managers can have the single largest impact on your organization. A good (or bad) manager affects employee performance and satisfaction, productivity, efficiency, turnover, and the overall health of any organization." A recent Gallup poll even estimated that every year disengaged employees cost the US Economy $370 Billion and the driver of that lost productivity is poor management or supervision.

Even with all that is written on this subject most new managers or supervisors receive very little to no people management training. If this is you or your company, you are not alone. Most companies or individuals make the mistake of only investing in training that focuses on the tribal, systems, or process knowledge that makes up the technical skills needed to function in their world and ignore the importance of investing in training their people managers.

Make the investment now by enrolling yourself or your management team into USF's Elite People Manager Certificate program.

Choose from a variety of courses designed to help you strengthen all facets of your people management skills. Learn the tools and techniques needed to successfully manage a diverse workforce in a rapidly changing, competitive, and complex world.
