“Being responsible for a large diverse Value Stream, Coronary and Renal Denervation (CRDN) Operations with over 1000 direct labour and 36 managers and supervisors in my reporting line it is critical for me as a People Leader to inspire and help all of my team to reach their full potential.
I realised there was a huge opportunity not just for me but for my team to get involved in this pilot. It had a big impact with the 13 team members of my value stream that participated, again giving the confidence and motivation to bring their education to a higher level.
