Overview

<h2 style="font-family:var(--proposal-font-heading);font-size:clamp(28px,4.2cqw,44px);line-height:1.14;font-weight:700">Thank you for the conversation</h2><p style="font-size:clamp(20px,2.1cqw,23px);line-height:1.5">You want your new team leads to keep their people and run their shifts well from their first year.</p>

<p>Hello {{CLIENT_NAME}},</p>
<p>You have promoted 38 operators into team lead roles in the last eighteen months. They know the work better than anyone, but most have never run a one-to-one, given hard feedback or interviewed a candidate. Turnover in their teams is almost double the rest of the business.</p>
<p>We recommend a six-session programme for your first-time managers, with practice on the job between sessions and their own managers involved from the start. You choose how many managers take part this year.</p>
<p><strong>{{SELLER_NAME}}</strong><br>Programme lead, {{SELLER_COMPANY}}</p>

Introduction

<h2 style="font-family:var(--proposal-font-heading);font-size:clamp(28px,4.2cqw,44px);line-height:1.14;font-weight:700">Where your team leads are today</h2><p style="font-size:clamp(20px,2.1cqw,23px);line-height:1.5">From your HR data and our interviews with eight team leads and four site managers.</p>

Staff who left in the last 12 months, by how long their team lead has been in the role

Your situation

<h2 style="font-family:var(--proposal-font-accent);font-weight:500;line-height:1.14"><span style="font-size:clamp(30px,4.2cqw,52px)">We recommend six half-day sessions over twelve weeks, with practice on the job between each one.</span></h2><p style="font-size:clamp(20px,2.1cqw,23px);line-height:1.5">Each team lead’s own manager joins the first and last session, so new habits are noticed and kept.</p>

<p>We talk to team leads and site managers so every exercise uses your real situations.</p>

Interviews

<p>Six half days in groups of twelve, mostly practice and very little slide time.</p>

Sessions

<p>One task between sessions, such as a recorded one-to-one or a shift handover.</p>

Practice

<p>A short survey of each team before and after, and a review with your HR lead.</p>

Review

Our recommendation

<h2 style="font-family:var(--proposal-font-heading);font-size:clamp(28px,4.2cqw,44px);line-height:1.14;font-weight:700">The six sessions</h2><p style="font-size:clamp(20px,2.1cqw,23px);line-height:1.5">Each session is three and a half hours at your Riverside site.</p>

<p>Moving from colleague to manager, what your team now expects of you and what your own manager expects.</p>

Your first 90 days

<p>A simple 20-minute format, practised in pairs, then run with one of your own team before the next session.</p>

One-to-ones

<ul><li>Praise that people believe</li><li>Raising a problem early</li><li>Practice with a trained actor</li></ul>

Feedback

<p>Handovers, setting priorities when people are off, and talking about safety and targets in a team huddle.</p>

Running a shift

<p>Absence, lateness and performance, using your HR policies, with your HR lead in the room.</p>

Hard conversations

<p>Structured interviews, scoring candidates fairly and the first week of a new starter.</p>

Hiring well

Interviews with team leads and site managers

Six sessions with two facilitators

Workbooks and practice tasks

Before and after team survey

Venue, catering and travel for your staff

Formal qualifications or certificates

What is included

Who you will work with

<h2 style="font-family:var(--proposal-font-heading);font-size:clamp(28px,4.2cqw,44px);line-height:1.14;font-weight:700">Results for a similar client</h2><p style="font-size:clamp(20px,2.1cqw,23px);line-height:1.5">A distribution company’s first-time managers, a year after the programme.</p>

Results for a similar client

<h2 style="font-family:var(--proposal-font-heading);font-size:clamp(28px,4.2cqw,44px);line-height:1.14;font-weight:700">Options and fees</h2><p style="font-size:clamp(20px,2.1cqw,23px);line-height:1.5">Three options by number of team leads. We recommend 24 this year.</p>

12 team leads, for a first group or a pilot.

One cohort

24 team leads, the plan in this proposal.

Two cohorts

All 36 team leads in the role under two years.

Three cohorts

<p>Fees are in USD and exclude tax. Facilitator travel within 50 miles is included. This proposal is valid until {{VALID_UNTIL}}.</p>

Options and fees

<h2 style="font-family:var(--proposal-font-heading);font-size:clamp(28px,4.2cqw,44px);line-height:1.14;font-weight:700">Common questions</h2>

<p>Yes. We run morning and afternoon groups so every shift can attend without overtime.</p>

Can sessions run around our shifts?

<p>They join the same session with the other cohort, or we send a short recording and a call with the facilitator.</p>

What if someone misses a session?

<p>Each team answers the same eight questions before and after, and we compare turnover with your HR data at six months.</p>

How do you know it worked?

<p>Yes. Your HR lead reviews every exercise that touches absence, discipline or hiring before we run it.</p>

Do you use our policies?

<p>With the three-cohort option you receive session guides your HR team can use.</p>

Can we run it ourselves next year?

<p>In a training room at your Riverside site, or another room you provide.</p>

Where do sessions take place?
