Training and development for your team, for improvement in the workplace

It is important to get training and development for your company and team members, in order to ensure that you can get a good team of people working together. Going on some team activities for a period of two days could be just the ideal activity for you and your team. One course takes elements of the classroom and mixes it with some outdoor activities to create a comprehensive course for your group. There is personality profiling and the profiling tool used for this training and development course is the Insights Discovery report tools. These will form an integral part of the sessions which are called 'valuing differences' which will take key learning points from each activity.
Although predominantly outdoors, average fitness will do as all exercises are non-strenuous with a huge fun element to keep up spirits and to also aid the process of learning. This programme includes two Maguire Training facilitators and allequipment is totally transferable across the UK to any venue of your choice. Maguire Training is able to regularly deliver this training and development programme in hotels with suitable grounds and suitable business centres also. Pre-course work will involve completing the Insights Discovery profiling questionnaire. This event can be help at a number of suitable grounds and business centres throughout the UK.

Teams and Team Working: training and development courses

This is a two day programme which will be focusing upon the concept of a much more animated outdoor activities and the training and development will be based at the Friday Island Management Development centre in Cirencester. Friday is Island is a unique and exclusive corporate activities venue set in the heart of the Cotswolds. It has been designed, constructed and maintained specifically for corporate events such as training and development courses from Maguire Training. It is set in one hundred and twenty acres of spring-fed lake with fifteen islands, sandy beaches, tropical palm trees, lapping water, woodlands and many other excellent purpose built buildings and facilities.
Friday Island is a dream corporate event that could come true for any team of delegates, and it is modelled on a Caribbean island. Pre-course work for this kind of training and development would include completing the Insights Discovery Profile questionnaire. Although Maguire Training utilise a variety of profiling tools, these workshops typically make use of the insights profiling tool. This is an excellent tool for individuals to gain a detailed understanding of their working style and how this impacts on their relationship with others in the business environment. This offers them a deeper understanding of how they might develop after their training and development course, to improve their effectiveness both as a person and as a professional in the workplace.

A community project for the training and development of your team

A community project is an activity that adds value to the community without levying a direct or indirect expense. It is an act of good will in the frame of volunteer work, but at the same time it does not necessarily have to be for a charity organisation. This training and development opportunity is placed at the Maguire Training outdoor centre at Friday Island and this location is ideal for the one day event. This will be when your team will partner English Nature on a conservation project of national importance.
This is an excellent training and development course site. In 1994 English Nature awarded Friday Island with the status of 'Site of Special Scientific Interest' due to its conservation importance. Further endorsement came in 1997 when Friday Island was credited with one of only sixteen 'National Special Conservation Awards'. This training and development course will be involved with one of the rarest water birds in Britain today, which is called the Bittern, which makes occasional visits to the lake at Friday Island. Central to these shy and cautious birds putting in an appearance is the planting of reed beds to provide cover and protection from predators. As such, reed bed planting is the focus of this particular training and development conservation project. This is a great way to develop your team spirit and achieve something of genuine importance for national conservation.

Business Solutions

360-Feedback

360-Feedback is possibly the most powerful mechanism for breaking into the cycle of development and revealing an individual's key development needs. Carried out effectively a 360 can highlight previously undiscovered issues in a manner that leads to constructive development, instead of confrontation.
The key to undertaking the 360 process is total commitment and high quality feedback. All Maguire professionals possess exceptional feedback skills and are able to adapt their personal styles to ensure that every individual that undertakes a 360 is given the thorough feedback that this process demands.
We can then go on from the 360 process to construct and develop personal development plans that will enable each participant to pursue their own development goals with regular evaluation and support along the way.
