Aligning strategy and operational efficiency will maximise the performance of your Duty Managers.

Every training program must have clear measurable outcomes for the individual and for the organisation.

The tangible benefits must be evident so you can measure the return on your investment and mitigate business risks, especially in training, operations and licencing.

Most CEOs, Operation and HR Managers would agree that their biggest challenge is keeping their Duty Managers engaged and focused on performance rather than task-driven roles so that they can effectively coordinate, delegate and manage their environment and are part of the solution rather than the problem.

West Tradies Management Program

West Tradies

The origins of the club can be traced back to 1983 when it was established for building tradesmen and their families through the support of unions in the building industry.

Known originally as the Building Workers Club it grew very quickly and often had a waiting list of people keen to join.

There have been ongoing renovations and alterations to the premises to maintain and enhance member services over the years.

Today, it certainly is a testament to its humble beginnings and the benefits it has made to the surrounding community in the Mt Druitt area.

It has been the vision at West Tradies to provide members, their family and friends of all ages and the community with a modern venue that provides the best hospitality and entertainment facilities.

By the very nature of the work Duty Managers perform, it would be easy for them to get caught up in the daily tasks of running a business instead of utilising their resources to manage performance of their staff. As gatekeepers of the “service standards and culture”, proactive management is a skill that can be taught through a systemic training process to make your managers more productive administratively, operationally and lawfully. Focusing on performance management creates a level of efficiency within the business that improves operational performance, staff engagement and customer satisfaction. Providing training objectives that support the organisation’s goals provides a clear alignment of vision, mission and values.

With over 150 Duty Managers involved in the Allied Risk Duty Manager Training and Coaching program, it is evident that systemic change is achievable through fostering and developing your change agents.

Workers Lifestyle Group inline with the group’s strategic diversification and expansion program, has a long term commitment to generating and fostering change.
