Half-Day Closing and Finance for Non Finance Managers
Do you remember when shops used to have a half day closing day?
Typically, in many towns, on a Wednesday or Thursday, the half day closing was not just a tradition, but in fact, in many instances, was required by law and regulated by the local Council.
What were the benefits? Well the obvious benefits to the staff workers were that they could “re-charge their batteries” and have a half day free.
To the shop keeper (although not always made manifest with Arkwright in “Open All Hours” who, as the name suggests, wanted to open all hours), they were able to re-stock, re-plenish and take time out to review and catch up.
What about today? As a Director or Manager of your teams you may have read the content of Task Force Matters Ltd Courses and thought it may be difficult releasing your staff out of the office and off territory to attend a full day or two day course.
How about this as an answer to satisfy your needs-“Half Day Closing”.
Any of the courses described can be delivered in “bite size chunks” and split into three half day sessions which means that the courses could be implemented around the requirements of your company for a half day in each session, either morning or afternoon.
Also-an ever popular course in the FINANCE FOR NON FINANCE MANAGERS workshop which can provide an overview of understanding the basics of the financial "three legged stool", namely: Profit & Loss (P&L) account, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow as well as a glossary of financial terms which means that your staff will have an increase of knowledge when discussing with your financial department.
In addition, as an added value, Task Force Matters Ltd will provide, if required, 3 months of unlimited e-mail support. The trainer can be e-mailed to assist in providing assistance with, for example, you may be implementing a new technique for your staff and you require some additional advice on how to go about this.
The learning benefits of attending the courses delivered by Task Force Matters Ltd does not finish at the end of the course. On going beneficial support is available.
