CLIFTON PARK, NY (04/30/2010)(readMedia)-- Judi Clements, President of Judi Clements Training & Development, has recently rolled out a new training program for staff and managers entitled Empowerment Power: How to Empower Your Employees and Yourself. Clements will deliver this program in several cities throughout New York State, including Albany and Rochester. The program focuses on techniques for building an empowered workforce through the development of individual responsibility and team work.
Timely Topic
This topic is especially relevant this year in light of difficult economic times that have de-motivated employees by making them feel less in control of their jobs and their lives. According to Clements, empowerment comes first from within. "When employees choose to accept responsibility for doing their jobs well, they understand we all have to work at success even when conditions are far from perfect."
Training at NYSID
One of the organizations that will be using Clements' new empowerment program is The New York Industries for the Disabled Inc (NYSID). NYSID is a not-for-profit member agency organization that works to meet the purchasing needs of state and local government agencies while advancing employment for New Yorkers with disabilities. NYSID acts as a "virtual storefront" for a statewide network of 155 community rehabilitation agencies and private sector business partners to employ skilled people with disabilities in both facility-based settings and community-based jobs. According to NYSID's training coordinator, enrollments for this class have skyrocketed. There seems to be a burning need for both new and experienced managers to learn how to motivate staff with constructive feedback and effective coaching.
Decision Making Tools
This program is especially suitable for organizations that are flattening out their organizational chart, utilizing more self-managed teams, and encouraging employees to think on their feet. According to Clements, "In this program, trainees learn decision making tools and practice these tools using realistic case studies."
