<p>What do engineers and project managers need to know of finance? 'Nothing - leave it to the accountants!'</p><p>No, no, no! Engineers must be conversant with the terminology and statements that accountants use. Technical expertise in projects, service delivery, production or other areas can only really be harnessed if the managers understand the accounting and reporting that drives businesses.</p><p>This course gives the necessary understanding to project, production and technical managers. It develops their skills in understanding financial and management accounting.</p><p>Accountants may not always like it but a major part of their work is to be the 'servants of business' and to gather, compile and present your figures. So you must understand the figures - they belong to you, your processes or projects. There are many reasons for maintaining accurate accounts. This course focuses on the strategic issues (those over-used words) - what figures reveal about the drivers of business and what they reveal about the day-to-day issues that accountants bother you with. The course will enhance your understanding of finance and of the accounting issues which affect your projects, production and technical areas of business.</p>This course will help you:<ul><li>Understand the business world in figures - make sense of what the accountants are telling you</li><li>Appreciate what drives business - and how this affects your role in your part of the business</li><li>Relate your activities to the success of the business - through figures</li><li>Gain the skills to advance in management - financial awareness is a 'must have' if you are to progress in your career</li></ul><section>

Recruitment and Selection Interviewing for Managers

<p>'Team identity' is an umbrella term that describes a team in terms of its vision, purpose, values, objectives and approach; in fact, everything that makes it unique. It brings a shared sense of what is important and what the team wants to achieve together. Building a team identity is an important step in enhancing commitment, trust, synergy and collaboration within the team.</p>
<p>This workshop provides an opportunity for your team to work together as 'one HR team' and begin the journey of creating a team identity. It enables participants to reflect on where the team has been, where it is going and how the team is perceived by the business. The workshop highlights existing strengths within the team, builds on and reinforces other initiatives being undertaken and supports the team in identifying practical steps that will help improve team effectiveness, create a team charter and enhance the value HR adds.</p>
<p>Underpinning the event is an analysis of how effectively the team is currently working together. This is typically achieved through the completion of a Team Effectiveness Survey before the event or a SWOT analysis on the day. If the survey is used, participants are asked to complete the survey before the training day and the feedback is collated by us and anonymised before being fed back on the day. It provides insight into ten key elements of teamwork and asks participants to respond to a series of open questions designed to get a view of team strengths and weaknesses as well as identifying what participants value about working within the team, what they find frustrating, and their ideas for improving team effectiveness. The questions can be tailored to individual client requirements.</p>
<p>Key outcomes for the day typically include a draft 'Team Charter' in the form of vision and mission statements, work on establishing a common approach and / or values and an action plan designed to build on the success of the team and enhance its effectiveness.</p><ul><li>A GREATER SENSE OF TEAM SPIRIT</li><li>A CLEARER FOCUS</li><li>FRESH IMPETUS BEHIND THE VISION AND MISSION</li><li>AN AGREED SET OF NEXT STEPS</li></ul><section>

<p id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">One of our greatest strengths is our ability to tailor any of our open management courses to the needs and requirements of different businesses in different industries. We understand that whilst our open management training courses provide a wealth of knowledge in their particular area of focus, not all of it may be relevant for your business and the particular industry you operate in.Rather than making delegates sit through management training that is irrelevant to their job role, we offer bespoke management training where we tailor the course to cover the specific needs of your organisation, ultimately relieving the inevitable boredom and "switching off" that would come with having to sit through training that a person knew they would not need.</p><h2 style="color: rgb(17, 86, 166); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(17, 86, 166);">Why choose us for your bespoke management training needs?</h2><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(125, 125, 125); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(125, 125, 125);">We have provided tailored, bespoke management training courses to some of the largest organisations in the UK.

NEW RADIATORS
We use EN442 standard to enable you to customise the defined MWT (°c) and the results will highlight if the radiator will heat the room for a given internal design temperature. We like to promote the need to design low temperature systems!
Add multiple designers to your account
You can now add extra dashboard users to complete heat loss and heating design reports on your Heat Engineer Software account.
DHW (DOMESTIC HOT WATER)
This will calculate the projected energy demand and running costs for DHW and domestic cylinder sizing.
EMITTERS AND PERFORMANCE
This page is primarily used for heat pump designs. Once you specify the flow temperature for each room the SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) values will be shown, and the system will show if radiators are over or undersized.
CURRENT RADIATORS
Use the app on site to enter the current radiators and our system will display the output values for different flow temperatures.
FUEL COMPARISON
Multiple fuels to compare against, you can adjust the price per unit and CO2 factor (kg/kWh). Present these running costs to your clients.
PHOTOS AND NOTES
Photos and notes which you or your surveyors have taken will be shown when you open the report from your dashboard. You may also upload and download photos from your PC / laptop too.

For new users and the curious.

Hello,

For new users and the curious.

IMPORTANT: Firstly, once you are signed up, send us your requests on what you would like to see within the demonstration and learn on the course. We will then cater for your needs and answer them during the session.

This is designed to be an introduction into how to start a room by room survey using the Heat Engineer app, then sending this survey to the online dashboard. We will then go through the different steps to complete this heat loss report. Optional pages will also be worked through and shown. 

Examples of how to select the flow temperature and the heat source (heat pumps and boilers) will be presented once the heat loss result is completed.

LEARN ABOUT BEHAVIORAL VS. TRADITIONAL INTERVIEWING, AND HOW TO INCORPORATE AND DEVELOP INTERVIEWING SKILLS TO ENSURE THAT YOU FIND THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB.
Behavioral Interviewing means asking candidates questions that will help you to discover how the interviewee acted in specific employment-related situations. Because past performance is a good indicator of how someone will act in the future, this style of interviewing is extremely useful, and the method of choice for recruiting teams.

OBJECTIVES
Participants will be able to:
Build a consistent framework and process to ensure an unbiased candidate experience;
Choose job specifications and determine how success will be measured (skills);
Identify characteristics and qualities that will support the required skills;
Prepare questions to elicit descriptions of behaviors, attitudes, and skills necessary for the job;
Review legal and appropriate interviewing etiquette/guidelines, including social media research;
Screen candidates, using resumes and phone interviews; and
Conduct successful role-play Behavioral Interviews in class.
CLASSES WILL INCLUDE:
Workbooks for future reference and study.
Workshop / role play with actual interview scenarios to assist in internalizing data.
Time for individual questions and concerns to aid in personalizing tactics.
Online Format—Behavioral Interviewing is a 4-hour interactive online class for up to six people.
Register for this class and you will be sent ONLINE login instructions prior to the class date.
