Manager Foundations

Course Description

Manager Foundations is designed for new managers within the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA). This 7.5-hour, on-demand program provides a practical introduction to the essential skills, knowledge, and resources for success in a management role. 

New managers are required to complete Bundle 1 before attending the in-person Manager Orientation. Bundle 2 can be completed at anytime and should be finished within the first 6-12 months of the management role. Current Out-of-Scope (OOS) managers are welcome to enroll anytime to refresh their knowledge.
