What are the benefits of supervisor and manager training? Briefly, they are as follows:
Managers and supervisors have limited access to job-specific training in the roofing disciplines. Accounts and administration are well catered for, as they are fairly universal throughout industry and business in general. However, problems can arise in information and training regarding products' systems and procedures; these may include areas such as legislation and specific regulations.
Most managers and supervisors gain their experience from life, undertaking the job and by generic management courses. Many of them rely on life and experience as they are 'too busy' working to spend time training.
One of the most important benefits of management and supervisor training, whether generic, specific or trade-related, is that it offers individuals not only person development but also business development opportunities.
Courses are now available in roofing-specific management and supervisory areas of expertise.
The Institute of Roofing (IoR) provides various levels of entry to their professional body. It has a detailed syllabus that is delivered by training providers leading to the examinations of the Institute of Roofing.
