We are delighted to announce spaces for our March cohort are now available.

We are excited to announce the second cohort of First Line Management (FLM) training for 2026, taking place on the 12th and 13th May. We have had over 500 people complete our FLM training so far.

The two day session will take place in our base in Glasgow, and will cover;

• The role of the FLM; In this session we will break down the role, skills and qualities that those in or preparing for management will need to develop;
• Absence Management; In this session we look at the impact managers can have on managing short and long term absence, and ways to support our teams;
• Performance Management; We look at creating a culture of Performance Management, how to develop our good performers and how to improve poor performance;
• Discipline and Grievance; In this session we cover the entire discipline and grievance processes, including investigations, hearings, outcomes and the legal framework that underpins both;
• Courageous Conversations; Our most challenging topic – we look at ways to challenge poor conduct or behaviour within teams, and a focus on achieving better outcomes;
• Team Building – We look at what makes an effective team, how we can build and develop our people within those teams to achieve their full potential

Sessions will be participative, and as always will give the opportunity to work on case studies.
