In an effort to foster the development of employees and provide them with the tools they need to grow, RONA has recently launched a Leadership Experience program for store managers, created by the company’s Training Team.
RONA’s Leadership Experience program is a 2.5-day learning journey for managers to develop management skills, explore different aspects of leadership, share their experiences, and gain access to practical tools they can use every day.
The program addresses key personal, team and corporate skills that every manager should develop to ensure their successful development as well as that of their team. “We have decided to offer this program to our store managers in priority, as they are the ones with the highest and most direct impact on our store associates and customers. The aim is then for all managers within the organization to benefit from this program to establish a common leadership culture,” says Kim Forgues, chief human resources officer at RONA inc.
Five groups, including two pilots and three cohorts, have already benefited from this training adapted to their reality, and other cohorts will soon have the chance to take this course.
The first manager cohorts to participate were from Ontario, Quebec, and Western Canada.
