Strengthening People Leadership at Medhavi

The Kolkata office hosted Manager Essentials, a workshop conducted by the Learning and Development (L&D) department to strengthen people-management capabilities among managers across departments. The three-hour session focused on equipping managers with practical approaches to leading teams, supporting employees, and navigating workplace challenges effectively, while reinforcing their role in fostering a positive and productive work environment.

Designed around the manager’s role throughout the employee lifecycle, the workshop covered key areas such as recruitment and selection, onboarding, performance management, feedback, grievance handling, and exit management. These discussions helped participants understand their responsibilities at different stages of an employee’s journey within the organisation and the importance of consistent, thoughtful managerial practices.

Through interactive activities, role-plays, and question-and-answer sessions, participants engaged with practical workplace scenarios and explored ways to address people-related challenges. The session highlighted the importance of building trust, setting clear expectations, encouraging employee growth, and handling difficult conversations constructively. It also encouraged managers to reflect on their decision-making approaches and team engagement practices.
