Through PHIG funding, the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) equipped first-time managers with essential leadership skills by partnering with Leadership Louisville for a new manager’s training. This training has set a foundational standard for new managers, enhancing the experience for both managers and their teams. The program includes ongoing support, fostering retention and continuous growth. By investing in staff development, LMPHW demonstrates commitment to employee growth, with plans to sustain and expand the training as new staff are hired and promoted.
