Dear Partners in Training,

RE: Middle Management Briefing

Upgrading the middle manager's competence in the various aspects of people management is considered crucial in Hempel. We are further convinced that a tailor made course, where the teaching is tied closely to our mission, vision, values and examples from the everyday business, is the best vehicle for this learning.

With this in mind it was natural for Hempel, based on our long term and positive relation to Partners in Training, to ask them to develop such a course for us.

The result is the Hempel Middle Management Briefing, which has proved to be the most valued course in our portfolio. This is due to both the actual course content, which is highly appreciated by the participants, and the professional and engaging delivery by the Partners in Training trainers, which has made them very popular with our staff.

The course is run twice a year and there is a permanent waiting list. The participants come from Hempel subsidiaries world wide, which always creates a special dynamism in the group, and also proves that the course is relevant for managers from all national cultures.
