Rachel Ward, Learning and Development Manager
After spending the first few weeks with BUFDG/HEPA getting to grips with the basics of what I need to know, I wanted to share an article which embodies the key aspects of my role and relates to all of us in some way or another. According to the Chartered Management Institute, over half of all managers want to prioritise professional development for themselves and their team this year. With this in mind, I am keen to gain a greater appreciation of how we can help support your training needs and that of your team.
I will (unashamedly) take any opportunity I can to raise the training and development subject with you all as ‘face to face’ opportunities arise. However if this article triggers any thoughts or you have identified any training and development needs, please pick up the phone and give me a call on 01509 228864, or drop me an email to s.clarke@bufdg.ac.uk, perhaps with a convenient time to call you back?
I look forward to working with you all in developing further the BUFDG/HEPA training and development provision over the coming year.
