Manager essentials program

MEP combines Genos emotional intelligence (EI) assessments, facilitated workshops, virtual coaching, and self-paced learning.

The full program structure includes:

• Genos 180-degree EI Survey
  • Completed by the participant and their team
• Induction Workshop
• Module 1: Understanding Self and Developing Others: The Reflective Mindset
• Module 2: Understanding Government and Governance
• Module 3: Managing People
• Module 4: Creating a Positive Work Environment
• Genos 360-degree EI Survey
  • Completed by the participant and their manager
• Virtual Coaching Circle

Genos EI assessments provide participants with valuable insights into where their direct reports and colleagues are seeking support, how effectively this is demonstrated through their own behaviours, and the practical actions they can take to strengthen team culture, wellbeing and workplace relationships.

Each module includes:

• face-to-face workshop
• learning guide with pre- and post-workshop activities, and
• workplace debrief template to support application of learning.

While MEP is designed to be completed as a full program, flexible options are available to suit organisational needs. These include opting out of the Genos EI assessments or enrolling in individual modules.

On completion of MEP, participants will be able to:

• lead with greater self‑awareness and emotional intelligence
• navigate the Tasmanian State Service context with confidence
• effectively manage and develop people and lead teams
• foster positive, safe and respectful work environments

MEP is suitable for all supervisors, team leaders, and managers working across the TSS.

To be eligible for enrolment, you must:

• be employed within the TSS
• lead a team or hold an influential role in your workplace (for example, a project manager, technical specialist, or senior team member)

Workshops run for a full day, with a half-day induction workshop at the start of the program. Participants can expect to spend up to three hours per week on self-paced learning. Genos EI surveys should take approximately 20 minutes for participant and their managers and team members.

Full program enrolment is $1,650.00 (incl. GST).
