You’ve probably heard it before: People don’t quit jobs; they quit managers. Managers play a key role in building your team’s culture, so having solid training for your frontline management team is crucial to nurturing and retaining high performers.

Ethena’s Management Essentials course is one of the few on the market that covers both soft skills and the law, spanning topics from reasonable accommodations to performance management to providing effective feedback. This course also includes manager topics specifically related to California, including state-specific leaves of absence, plus wage and hour information.

Why is this training important?

Management training is crucial in California due to the state’s dynamic and diverse economy, which includes leading industries such as technology, entertainment, and agriculture. Effective management training equips leaders with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of these sectors, fostering innovation and competitiveness.

Additionally, the state’s diverse workforce requires managers to be adept in cultural competency and inclusive leadership, ensuring that all employees are motivated and engaged. California’s regulatory environment, including stringent labor laws and environmental standards, further underscores the need for well-trained managers who can ensure compliance and drive sustainable business practices.
