CBA members offered discounted training on leadership skills and mental health promotion

The Craft Bakers Association (CBA) has launched Leading Great Shifts and Mental Health Support Champion on its website. Courses are offered at a discounted rate to ABC members and allow them to coordinate training at their own pace for themselves and their employees, as well as track progress and download certificates upon successful completion.

“It’s essential that your team has the skills and information they need to run your business effectively. »said Karen Dear, CEO of the ABC.​​

“Whether it’s human resources, health and food safety, legal or financial legislation, we know that training can be expensive and take a lot of time to plan. That’s why one of the biggest benefits of ABC membership is being able to access discounts on a wide range of business-critical online and in-house training courses.​

The easy-to-access courses, delivered by CPL Learning, focus on leadership priorities and supporting mental health in the workplace.

Leading Great Shifts is designed to provide the knowledge and understanding needed to successfully manage change in a bakery. The course explains the importance of effective leadership, providing practical steps and advice on how to implement it in a business.

The course is suitable for all levels and would benefit all bakery team members who lead teams as part of their role.

Mental Health Support Champion is designed to promote good mental health and wellbeing at work, an increasingly important topic in bakeries.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to identify members who may be experiencing issues such as anxiety and stress; provide effective and early intervention; and report sources of support.
