Eight Gippsland Lakes Complete Health (GLCH) staff celebrated graduating from the health provider’s in-house leadership and training program, LEAD, last week.
The Leadership, Exploration and Development (LEAD) program sees candidates complete an extended course that focuses on providing staff with an introduction to management skills.
GLCH’s Home and Community Support Services (HCSS) team topped the 2023-24 class with four staff members successfully completing the course, which comprised monthly workshops covering a range of subjects, mentoring, research and independent study capped off with proposals on innovative and more efficient ways to support clients and the community.
GLCH chief operating officer Rebecca Woodland said the program highlighted the organisation’s commitment to staff training and development and in improving skills and knowledge.
“GLCH is very supportive of staff having the right skills to perform their roles, and also of staff who want to gain skills and knowledge so they can move into other GLCH roles,” she said.
