CIPM Sri Lanka, the Nation’s leader in human resource management, conducted an innovative Supervisory Development Program (SDP) to inculcate key personal, supervisory and management traits which are essential to influence individual and corporate performance to achieve trailblazing results. The SDP, organized by the Consultancy Training & Development Division of CIPM Sri Lanka, was held on Monday October 23, at the Members’ Lounge, CIPM Head Office “HR House” in Colombo 5. The program was facilitated by Senaka Muhandiramge (FCIPM) and Sarath Jayasinghe (FCIPM), two of the most experienced resource personnel attached to the CIPM Consultancy Training & Development Division. Over 30 participants representing a cross section of supervisors and managers from both the private as well as public sector, participated in the full day program which is the 4th in CIPM’s SDP road map.
“We are delighted and encouraged with the response we have received for the previous three SDPs as well as the current program conducted by the same two experienced resource personnel attached to CIPM. CIPM would continue to conduct these types of innovative programs to provide a high level of value addition to the participants and their organizations, in order to take them to the next level,” said Sarath Jayasinghe, CIPM Chairman, Consultancy, Training & Development Subcommittee.
The program consisted of several modules related to personality building, development of leadership skills, team work, interpersonal skills, decision making and problem solving and motivation. All participants were of the level of supervisors and above and comprised of engineers, medical doctors and managers.
“The participants were extremely interactive and asked many questions in order to get the maximum knowledge out of the program. I too enjoyed speaking to the audience and responding to their questions, while providing additional information,” said Senaka Muhandiramge, Chief Facilitator of the program. The Chief Medical Officer of Asiri Hospitals (Matara Branch), a participant of the program, stated that the time and money invested in the program was well worth it. “The leadership and motivation skills that I have learnt today, are very useful in developing my personal attributes to be an effective leader.
