New Soft-skills Training Tool Equips Supervisors to Tackle Everyday Challenges
King of Prussia, PA (PRWEB) May 12, 2014 -- HRDQ, a leading developer of experiential learning resources for soft-skills training, announced the release of the Supervisory Skills Questionnaire Fourth Edition, the supervisory training solution that has helped thousands around the world to improve their supervisory skills. The new edition boasts a fresh new design and enhancements that support learning in today’s fast-paced, global organizations.
“The Supervisory Skills Questionnaire has been a trainer favorite for more than 15 years,” said Bradford Glaser, HRDQ President and CEO. “Unlike other supervisory training programs that focus on broad topics such as communication and leadership, this soft-skills training tool targets five specific and relevant competencies supervisors must master in order to effectively tackle everyday challenges. The situation-based assessment measures capability level and then provides the opportunity to practice skills and develop an action-oriented plan for improvement.”
Featuring contemporary updates, the new fourth edition includes a fully revised, full-color facilitator guide, an updated Supervisory Skills model, a supplemental participant workbook, a step-by-step half-day workshop outline, online administration options, a new self-study version, and facilitator support materials.
“Whether you need to administer training to a classroom full of participants or perhaps a handful of supervisors across the globe, the Supervisory Skills Questionnaire Fourth Edition offers a wide range of flexible training options that will spark immediate performance improvement in supervisors,” says Martin Delahoussaye, Vice President of Publishing. “It’s an excellent first step for newly minted supervisors or a practical refresher for seasoned veterans.”
Available exclusively through HRDQ, the Supervisory Skills Questionnaire can be used as a standalone tool or the centerpiece of a supervisory-skills training program. Trainer certification is not required to administer or facilitate the assessment and workshop.
