Crestcom’s New Leadership Development Training Modules In 2019

Crestcom announces four new leadership development modules in 2019 bridging the current skills gap between what companies need and what employees can offer.

As 2018 ends, a recent Bloomberg Next study was found showing what skills are lacking from their employees and new hires. Unsurprisingly, many of these skills are “soft skills” that prove to be a high priority amongst the study’s respondents, directors to C-suite executives. One of the many reasons companies choose Crestcom’s program is the ongoing new content.

Module participants have a mixed environment of in-class and online learning. The module lessons allow company employees to work together as a team, and while networking with others from different industries. At the end of each lesson, participants are prompted to create an action plan so they can put into place the lessons they have learned. By developing a plan, companies may see a positive impact in their workplace culture and an increase in their ROI as early as 6 months to 2 years.
