As with any role in the workplace, it’s important that any newly hired or recently promoted manager is trained to deal with the pressure of their new senior responsibilities. However, this is often not the case, with an estimated 85% of new managers not getting any training before becoming a manager.

New managers can only thrive in an organisation when they have the support to naturally develop them into influential leaders. The transition from a team member to a leader is a big jump, but you can support them with a comprehensive leadership training programme designed to help them and your business thrive.

Apprenticeships can be beneficial for both employers and employees. For employers, they provide you with an opportunity to build a culture of knowledge sharing, where upskilling in the workplace becomes the norm.

There are some common misconceptions when it comes to apprenticeships. People often think of them as an option for 16-year-olds fresh out of high school. However, apprenticeships can actually offer many benefits to people at any stage of their career.

Most people want to progress in their careers. They want to take on more responsibilities, continually develop their skills and increase their salary.

Do you have plans to transform more of your staff into leaders? If so, there are specific skills they’ll need to develop to get there.

Every business needs leaders. They’re the heartbeat of an operation, invaluable to providing strategic direction and play a crucial role in motivating the rest of their team.

It’s crucial that your employees have a comprehensive understanding of marketing and the relevant skills needed to succeed in this digitally-driven space. At Ascento, we’ve developed a range of digital marketing courses aimed to make this happen.

What is Crisis Management?

If you’ve seen us mentioned in Business Live, Insider Media and other regional publications, Ascento has now become employee owned and operates for the benefit of the employees of the company, allowing all employees to share in its success and ensure the long term future of the business.  

As it's Employee Ownership Day, we thought it was time to comment on why we made this decision. Outgoing Founder and Managing Director Chris Ash, says “I have been really excited to step aside as the sole owner of the company and cannot wait for the whole team to share in the next exciting stage of our journey. 

Becoming employee owned means we are stronger together, means that we can all share in our successes and the culture will continue to strive through a collective spirit and drive.”
