MAN 01: PERFORMANCE CONTRACTING It is against this backdrop that the Performance Contracting seminar intends to explore concepts and techniques that are shaping management of state corporations. This intensive four -day course will equip participants with practical tools to craft and implement an effective Performance Contracting cycle. During the short course, participants will:
MAN 02: RATING AND LAND VALUATION SYSTEM MAN 03: CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT MAN 04: PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR NGO PROFESSIONALS More Details --> MAN 05: DRUG ABUSE IN THE WORK PLACE - STEMMNIG LOSES, REGAINING PROFITS These employers will try everything they can think of to help this employee who keeps promising that they will pull up their socks and finally when they are sacked the employer cannot be cited for lack intolerance having already gone beyond what is expected. But since these are alcoholics, problem drinkers and other types of drug addicts or are non-users but are married to, living with or have children who are users, many employers are totally unaware that this is a disease whose symptoms can sometimes be summed up in one word - madness. What is needed is a true understanding to end genuine and sincere but misguided attempts to help which usually result in failure. Once employers really understand for example what really ails an alcoholic then they can see what part to profitably take to salvage their employee. But when one looks at the probable alcoholics in your organisation aren't they usually not brilliant, fast-thinking imaginative and likable? When sober, is it not true that they work hard and really get things done? Then ask yourself if they had these qualities and did not drink would they be worth retaining? Should they have the same consideration as other ailing employees? Are they worth salvaging? If your answer is yes then whether for humanitarian or business reasons or both then the need for this workshop and the setting up of an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) cannot be ignored. The problem of alcohol and other drug use on the reduced performance, morale and productivity of any organisations' staff is well documented and indisputable in western and other developed countries. But in the developing nations Kenya included the problem of alcoholism is not even understood nor talked about as indeed use of other drugs. The stigma and shame attached to alcoholism and the use of other drugs is so great that most Kenyans prefer not to talk about it but rather keep quiet hoping that it will miraculously go away. Chemical use, however, cuts through all Kenyan institutions from the home through to government and industries. Alcoholism is a disease and that treatment interventions can be done by an educated and thus empowered staff, thereby giving an alternative to tragic, wasteful and needless dismissals. By doing this we not only increase the organisation's bottom line, but equally important the family's. Employers are in a unique position to arrest this situation as they have a lot of clout without realising it. For as someone once said, "Parents beseech, teachers teach and preachers preach, but when the boss says 'get well or get out' the alcoholic or addict looks for help." MAN 06: LABOUR INTENSIVE CONTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT From this year it has been directed that 20% of the government tenders will be given to youth-operated businesses. However, there is concern that the youth do not have the necessary project management skill to undertake projects of this magnitude. Thus the Government encourages training service providers to fill this gap by offering relevant short courses. This course was designed to respond to this challenge.
