Benefits of company sponsorship
Employers considering sponsoring their staff to complete the Professional Management Program stand to reap many significant, and highly tangible, benefits for their organisation. Participants are encouraged wherever possible during the program to relate their assignments to actual issues in their workplaces in addition to the work-based project.
Consequently, participants are able to make real strategic contributions to their organisations throughout the full 12-month period and beyond. In fact, they are often able to make greater progress, on more tasks, than they otherwise would without this extra stimulus.
In many cases this has resulted in significant leaps in productivity and profitability for the businesses concerned, returning their investment many times over.
This is particularly so when staff from more than one department or division within an organisation attend in the same intake. This can result in not only stronger personal and professional relationships, but also a much more highly developed understanding of each other's specific roles, skills, needs and approaches. In other words, vastly improved teamwork.
