Leadership and Management Skills Course for Administrative Staff 2024
Administrative staff in research environments play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation of scientific endeavors.
They are the backbone that supports researchers, facilitating communication, managing resources, and fostering a collaborative atmosphere.
However, the transition into these multifaceted roles often comes without the necessary training in communication, leadership, conflict resolution, and team management.
Recognizing the unique demands on research administrators, we have designed a course to offer practical,hands-on training that addresses their real-world challenges.
By investing in their development, we aim to foster a more efficient, effective, and inclusive research environment. This will enable administrative professionals to better support their teams and drive organizational success.
