WCMA opens registration for 2020 leadership trainings
The association is also introducing a new course on diversity and inclusion.
The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) said it opened registration for its educational offerings — refreshed for 2020 — including the popular WCMA Front-Line Leadership Training courses and WCMA Advanced Leadership Series for mid-level managers. The Madison, Wis.-based association also announced a brand-new class called WCMA Next Step Leadership, specifically geared for established leaders who want to renew and update their skills.
“We know that the development of ‘soft skills’ in managers and supervisors has a positive impact on employee retention rates, and that ongoing education is critical to the implementation of innovative workforce strategies,” said Rebekah Sweeney, WCMA communications, education and policy director. “That’s why WCMA is pleased to introduce a new class, Next Step Leadership, to provide not only a refresher on core elements such as communication, performance feedback, and delegation, but also an introduction to hot topics in the world of human resource management.”
