This month, we're focusing on all things management - so keep an eye on the blog over the next few weeks to read more about Go1’s relevant training content!

Even if you are an experienced manager, it's important to not neglect your training. New managers typically understand that there is a lot they need to learn, with training they need to do. Whereas more experienced managers don’t necessarily need to focus on management techniques and practices, but instead on ways to take the next steps towards effective leadership and management. 

The workplace is evolving and managers must accommodate themselves to today’s ecosystem. The challenges managers need to be aware of today often involve their ethics and the way they make decisions for their team to ensure they align with today's corporate culture and social norms.

This week, we'll look at two courses that will help managers to ultimately shape healthy and effective teams in today's workplaces. As a manager, you'll learn how to: 

Ensure that you lead teams with equal employment opportunities and are aware of appropriate practices in regards to discrimination and compliance

Consider what ethical leadership means today in business, and equip yourself with tools to build an ethical culture in the workplace.

Equal Employment Opportunity for Managers

This course covers Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and discrimination in the workplace. 

The EEO course will help individuals avoid inappropriate behaviours in the workplace, that put themselves, their colleagues, customers, and the organisation at risk. This compliance course will educate staff on what are equal employment opportunity requirements in the workplace, how to report and respond to inappropriate behaviour, and the legal responsibility of managers. 

It is a highly engaging course that gives learners the opportunity to consider examples of what are and what are not appropriate workplace behaviours, with scenarios and animated videos plus the use of case studies. 

GVM is an award-winning company with a rich history and experience. With 20 years of expertise in the areas of instructional design, content development and learning management systems, their aim is to help their clients to measure the return on their training investment and to achieve maximum learning efficiency and effectiveness. Global Vision Media has a suite of Australian compliance courses which are particularly aimed at local councils. All courses are short, clear and concise and very easy for all employees to complete.

Ethical Leadership - Becoming a Courageous Leader

This course covers ethical leadership in the workplace, geared specifically for business leaders who want to build solid organisations that uphold strong ethical and moral values. 

Most people agree that good ethics is good for business yet we still have ethical violations showcased in daily headlines. The problem is moral leadership. The courageous leader needs to have the ability to face difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or intimidated by consequences. Being courageous requires that you discern and assess what needs to be done and have the fortitude to be able to deal with the consequences based on the foundation of those values. 

This course is divided into 5 parts, each section engaging the learner with videos, handouts and a quiz to conclude. 

After completing this course you will learn how to become a courageous leader and know how courageous leaders make decisions.

Global Ethics Solutions can help you create a safe atmosphere that is key to improving the integrity of a company. Through knowledge and accountability, your business' day-to-day operations will experience a significant decrease in unethical conduct. With 90+ resources Global Ethics Solutions provides customised ethics and compliance training programs to teach employees important skills, principles, and policies to make the right ethical choices. A company or organisation is only as "ethical" as the people in it. The key to a strong, thriving organisation is to encourage and build up the character of all individuals with positive tools and training that foster an ethical culture in the workplace.

Making your new management position successful - Part A and B

For anyone who is taking up their first management position, this two part course will help you to learn about the demands of a management posting and your medium-term priorities, and how to prepare for your new appointment. 

Part A takes you through key responsibilities such as delegation and team motivation. 

Part B will show you how to lead your first meeting as a manager, handle initial interviews with your coworkers, or manage more delicate situations - such as managing former colleagues, experts and more senior coworkers. You will also be able to identify and differentiate between tasks that are urgent and important, thereby helping you to delegate effectively.

Managers have to deal with a range of different situations, from co-workers with different skills and motivations, to circumstances with varying imperatives and degrees of urgency. Managers must constantly adapt. Intuition, experience and personality are not enough on their own. Instead, managers must be conscious of their preferences, strengths and weaknesses, and constantly adjust their behaviour. They need to assess risks and develop their interpersonal and organisational strengths if they want to succeed. This module will help you understand the different options and adopt the appropriate behaviour.

Being persuasive in management situations - Part A and B

The term “negotiation” is used to refer to relationships with unions and management, customers and suppliers. However, the term “negotiation” is less widely used in relationships between managers and staff. Nevertheless, certain situations involve negotiation, even if it is implicit. Use this course to prepare for your negotiations.

Effective ways to communicate with team members: This module will give you a few tips about how to manage team members’ activities as well as how to boost each remote team member.

How to handle poor performing employees: Handling team member’s performance remotely is not an easy task. Learn how to create an employee performance improvement plan and choose between asynchronous and synchronous interaction.

Go1 is pleased to announce a new content partnership in Australia, teaming up with building and construction eLearning specialists Pointsbuild. Pointsbuild delivers their own digital learning content, specifically for the Australian building and construction industry. 

The partnership between Go1 and Pointsbuild has initially given Go1 Premium customers access to 12 Courses in the National Construction Code (NCC). The NCC is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) developed to incorporate all on-site construction requirements into a single code.

For the last decade, Pointsbuild has delivered professional development courses too over 100,000 trades and professionals across a range of Australia’s leading construction companies. They make CPD easy for the construction industry, and can help ensure your organisation fulfils compliance requirements for licence renewal/accreditation in the industry. 

Mitchell Sabine, from Go1's Content Partnerships team, explains the value of this partnership for Go1 customers:

"Together, we will help employers and their staff in the building and construction industry achieve their training and compliance goals.  Pointsbuild are industry experts and have a leading library of courses for a range of trades and professions in building and construction industry." 

Go1 is excited to be partnering with Pointsbuilds - a leading online professional development company for all of the building, construction and property industries. We expect the partnership between both organisations will expand to include more of Pointsbuild's digital learning catalogue. 

Pointsbuild are leaders in education, training and innovation. Established in late 2006, Pointsbuild was founded to provide approved compliance based training for builders, with a focus on those in regional and remote areas - for which there has been a distinct lack of credible training and education options. Pointsbuild has grown from one of Australia’s first approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training providers for the Australian building and construction industry to now be the leader of online CPD, education and training services across Australia for construction and building professionals.

Go1 makes it easy for businesses to train their staff, with the world’s largest compliance, professional development and general training marketplace. By providing a single platform that extends from first aid training through to degree bearing courses, Go1 makes it easy to find and compare the best training options available. Since launching in 2015, Go1 has grown to be a world leader in online learning and education.

Part 4 of the Aged Care Quality Standards Series

The new Aged Care Quality Standards are now in place across Australia. The standards apply to all aged care services, including residential care, home care, flexible care and services under the Commonwealth Home Support Program. Now is the time to familiarise yourself with them.  

In order to meet the standards, staff must be well-equipped and feel confident in delivering the best possible care. To support this, Go1 has partnered with Australian training provider Aged Care Learning Solutions to bring you all the online training courses you need to be ACQS compliant.

For Standard 4, organisations need to ensure their services and supports for daily living allow for consumers to do the things they want to do. Meeting the requirements for this standard is closely linked to the guidelines set out in Standard 1.  If consumers are provided with the help to maintain their independence, they will be able to live with purpose and have a sense of belonging to their community. 

What does ‘services and supports for daily living’ include?

Your organisation’s services and support systems include any provisions in place for consumers’ health and wellbeing that enable them to do things they want to do. 

Whether you are working with consumers living in their own homes or those in residential care, each consumer will have goals they want to achieve.  They will also want to be engaged in activities which have meaning and purpose, but may have challenges in their health and abilities which make this more difficult. 

The services and support your organisation provides should enable consumers to work towards their goals and aspirations, and help them to engage in meaningful pursuits. 

domestic help, such as cleaning, laundry, gardening and home maintenance services

food services, including meals, food advice, delivery and preparation

services to encourage and support consumers to take part in social and other activities they are interested in, including community life.

Reviewing your services and support systems

Whether you believe the services your organisation offers are of a high standard, or you think they need improving, you will need to complete a review and ensure they meet the requirements for the new ACQS. 

These are our top tips for aged care providers to use and to generate conversation around the topic. The advice we share is to be implemented at the discretion of those responsible for the quality of aged care provision. Staff wishing to implement changes should do so in consultation with colleagues and line managers:

1. Provide opportunities self-management 

Where possible, allow those you are caring for to take ownership of organising activities and making changes in their home. Of course, there are policies and guidelines everyone has to adhere to, but there is room within these to allow consumers to shape the world around them. 

Perhaps the consumers in your organisation could set up a community association, or organise a fundraiser? If a person in your care is living at home, are there organisations in their community which could help to give them a voice? Of course, this won’t be possible for all individuals, but highlighting the opportunity to those who are able can make a huge difference to their sense of independence.

2. Encourage consumers to remain physically active 

Staying in the best physical shape possible is essential for the individuals in your care and their ongoing level of independence. Although the extent to which an individual is able to move or how far they can travel will vary, encourage them to continue doing what they can.  This might be as simple as walking in the garden, or organising household items. However small, each opportunity for movement will help those in your care to remain as active and engaged as possible. 

3. Tailor your services to the consumers’ needs

When reviewing the support your organisation offers to consumers, the best place to begin is with the information on the care plans.  If the services on offer meet the needs and wishes of consumers as closely as possible, consumers in your care will feel safer and that they are being listened to. This also applies if you have room in the budget to put new services in place.

It is equally important to involve consumers in the review process and ask for their feedback.  Their opinions will be the best indicator as to how the organisation is doing, and it is important to listen to them as you implement change.  Communicating any changes to consumers is also essential, as changes to an environment or routine can be stressful. 

4. Encourage consumers to take part in community life 

In order for consumers to feel as though they are engaged in daily life, it is important that staff members encourage them to take part in their community. Consumers need to be supported to overcome any impairments or conditions they may have which make participating difficult. 

If consumers are in residential care, there should be a range of activities that those with different personalities will enjoy taking part in. Some will enjoy physical activities, some more creative pursuits, and others will enjoy staying up to date with world politics. Provide activities for consumers of all personality types to enjoy their environment. 

Consumers in residential care should also be encouraged to take part in activities in the wider community if possible. Family members or friends might be able to assist with this. In residential care, it is also beneficial to have networks with the community, so that those outside of the organisation can provide services to consumers. For example, a massage therapist might visit consumers in residential care on a weekly basis. 

On reflection, are there any improvements you need to make to the services and supports in your organisation?  For information and support with meeting the requirements for Standard 4, you can find reflective questions on the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission website.  

If you have a Go1 Premium portal, log in to view the Aged Care Learning Solutions video guide to Standard 4. Here, you will also find learning resources related to Standard 4.
