Lab Manager Academy | How to Manage Lab Staff – eLearning Program

About the Program

People are the key to any lab. What the lab learns and delivers is all due to the people. Lab managers need to develop sufficient leadership skills to enable the staff to be successful. The leadership basics course will provide a foundation of basic leadership skills that will benefit all lab managers. Lab managers also need to learn the skills necessary to bring in the best candidates, train them, and develop them for growth within the lab, and retain them. In this stream, lab managers will learn how to recruit, hire, and onboard new lab staff, which brings in the talent needed for the lab’s success. A key to retaining existing staff is an effective performance management process, which is covered in two courses. One will cover how to develop and execute effective roles and objectives documents to ensure all lab staff understand what is expected of them and to clarify how they contribute to the lab’s success. Another will cover evaluating performance and building development plans for staff. Finally, this stream ends with a course on succession planning, which will enable the lab manager to preserve the knowledge of the organization, enable the lab to continue to thrive even if key staff leave, and help to develop and grow staff to be ready for greater responsibility in the future.
