Why the apprenticeship scheme might be the answer to your team leaders prayers.

With the government furlough scheme coming to an end change is afoot.  Very soon, many organisations will have to face the inevitable consequence that they simply have to restructure their workforce, and team leaders will feel the pressure. We have experienced this situation many times before, most notably following the recession back in 2008-9. One of the most common practices when carrying out this type of exercise is replacing expensive, experienced managers with younger, less experienced and dare I say it “cheaper” ones. Let’s not kid ourselves, although a little unpalatable this practice has gone on for years and will continue to do so. It is always front line team leaders and supervisors who pick up the slack when this practice occurs. They are given significantly more responsibility or inherit larger teams as a result of team mergers, with little time to get to know the people and typically little or no training. Here’s where the apprenticeship scheme can offer a workable and affordable solution for many SME’s as well as levy paying organisations. Having partnered with The Training Initiative we have combined the LMI Effective Leadership Development programme with the L3 Team Leader standard creating a world class team leader solution. Ideal for first time, first line managers, team leaders and supervisors this programme covers the mission critical skills, attitudes and behaviours necessary for the 21st century team leader.
