Training Targets Multiple Corporate Tiers

Makau’s Professional Development Program Impacts Companies Top to Bottom

Orem, Utah, December 07, 2005 Makau Corporation, announces an on-site training program mapped to different levels within an organization. Needs differ between production, management, director and executive employees. To meet these needs, many companies have created training pyramids or tiers within their organizations to assist employees at different levels. Many companies also follow the practice of “career pathing,” which is to lay out a plan for an employee to follow to advance his or her career. Makau’s professional development training is designed to integrate with a tiered or pathing program and help companies advance to the next level.

At the production level, Makau offers courses on customer service, negotiations, and making the transition to management. For managers, courses include the art of active listening, the art of meetings, and interviewing skills. At the director and executive levels, Makau offers more extensive training in the areas of influencing, such as advanced negotiations and leadership.

“Moving up in an organization usually means expanding your circle of influence,” said Barbara Jackson, Founding Partner of Makau. “When you train people to influence others, inside and outside the organization, in the right way, you really impact the whole culture and effectiveness of the organization.”

Makau’s cutting-edge training program lifts the over-all level of training by introducing elements not found in most training programs. All courses include multiple break-out sessions and extensive emphasis on using what you have learned on the job. Participants leave with personal evaluations and development plans on specific ways to implement what they have learned into their daily work.
