The NHS Leadership and People Management Programme at UHLG is celebrating its successful launch within Facilities Services.

The Facilities Management Front Line People Manager Development Programme has been created to support our supervisors and managers, both in growing their soft skills and building their confidence, so that our teams are effectively managed in line with policies and best practice.

Knowing that teamwork is at the heart of all we do, we understand that by offering our people managers an opportunity to invest in themselves, the learning they undertake now will ripple out across the wider team and create an improved working environment for all of our staff.

This comprehensive initiative focuses on enhancing the experience of our operatives, ensuring they feel valued, supported, and empowered in their roles through three key objectives:

  1. Leadership Development: Equip our leaders with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively manage teams, foster a positive work environment, and drive organisational success
  2. People Management: Implement strategies that promote employee engagement, satisfaction, and well-being through regular feedback sessions, professional development opportunities, and recognition programmes
  3. Operational Excellence: Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our facilities services through better management practices, streamlined processes, and enhanced communication channels

Paul McCormick, Head of Facilities, said: "We had a fantastic response to the first session. It was a pleasure to see our managers so enthusiastically engaged and I'm looking forward to seeing the participants go from strength to strength as the programme progresses."

By investing in our leaders and operatives, we aim to create a more supportive and engaging work environment, deliver more efficient and effective services, and drive overall organisational growth - positioning University Liverpool Hospitals Group as a leader in healthcare excellence.
