ReadyT
oManage’s Employee Development Sale



ReadyToManage (RTM) is helping you stay on track with your self-development goals for 2011, by offering an exclusive deal of $100 worth of resources for just $80 for the next 30 days. Employee development is more important than ever in weak economic times. Employees need to build their resumes, while organizations need their workers to take responsibility for building their own competence. Classroom training is quickly becoming too expensive and time consuming, making way for online learning, job aids, self-study, games, targeted assessments, storyboards and other employee development methods, which have become popular alternatives for a fraction of the cost of traditional workshops.

Employees target specific skills for development every year as part of appraisal and goal-setting. Why not make an annual budget available to all employees for self development use? RTM offers over 800 different resources to choose from, with development certificates available in increments of $50, $100 and $500.

Start setting your goals for 2011 now! For more information or to view RTM’s other offers and products, please visit http://store.readytomanage.com/

Employee Development Case Study: Development Plan for Mark, the Auditor

Consider Mark, an internal auditor at a government agency, who has targeted the following areas for his individual development over the next 12 month period.

1. Presentation Skills
Mark is increasingly being asked to present his findings to small groups of leaders/managers in his organization and occasionally externally, which he finds very stressful, and needs to upgrade his skills and confidence as a presenter. He found these resources in the RTM store:

Both are PDF downloads and give him enough information, tips, templates, techniques he to upgrade his presentation skills.

2. Communications Skills – Mark has been told that he gets his message across well some of the time, to some audiences, but that he could improve in clarifying complex information (simplifying trends, data and tables), giving feedback and reading non-verbal cues. He wants to become a senior auditor within the next few years, so Mark is motivated to deepen his communication effectiveness. He found these resources in the RTM store:

Communication Effectiveness Profile $35 for a 180 degree feedback version (Mark + his manager, so he can compare perceptions of his communication effectiveness in the 7 key areas assessed)

Effect
ive Communication eLearning $95  for a 3-4 hour (start and stop OK) with downloaded workbook so he can work through key concepts and not have to attend a workshop or evening course.

$4.95 that he can keep on his desk and refer to throughout the day to practice key actions on a daily basis.

To do all of the above, Mark has invested less than $160 for a full year of self-development in two key competency areas. It so happens that Mark has a budget allowance of $150 per year to spend on self-development so he has actually spent less than $10 of his own money to target his learning in key areas with superior content from ReadyToManage!
