Course enquiry People Management courses

Managing people can be highly rewarding. It can also lead to high levels of stress, both for managers and their team members. According to Gallup*, 50% of employees leave their work because of issues with their immediate supervisor.

PMSP provides education on key people management skills to enable managers to have a foundational understanding. Skilled people managers contribute to creating healthy working environments, which in turn enhance patient care, staff wellbeing and staff retention.

Available to all NSW Health managers, PMSP offers an integrated approach to building knowledge and capabilities to effectively support teams and positively manage challenging situations.
