Managers ands Supervisors Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How can I prepare employees for training?
Managers and supervisors can have a big impact on making training a successful experience for employees. A participant will benefit more from attending a training program if you show an interest in his or her participation and talk about the upcoming training together. Let the employee know what you expect him or her to gain by attending the training. Relate your expectations to the course objectives, specific job responsibilities, and your organization’s mission.

Is it possible to bring training to our work location?
Yes! PDS provides dedicated training sessions, called Special Sessions, throughout the state. Existing courses can be customized to best meet your current employee and organization needs.

How do I arrange a Special Session?
Contact Dawn Stohs from PDS to begin coordinating your special session. You may let us know what course(s) you’d like to schedule, or we can discuss the objectives you have for a training session and we can help you determine the appropriate instructor and content to be presented.
