Alpha Management CEO Michael Hanna on Cross-Training Team

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Dec. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- By utilizing the latest cross-training methods, his program is producing versatile and dedicated high achievers.

Alpha Management’s exceptional team of promotional specialists brings a wide array of talents to every outreach campaign. One driving factor behind their success is an organizational commitment to cross-training. As Michael Hanna, the firm’s CEO, commented, “I understand that a lot of companies are under financial pressures in today’s economic environment, but they cannot cut corners when it comes to training their people to perform a variety of roles.”

Michael recently had the opportunity to cross-train with top business leaders from across the industry in California. He returned to the home office with a wealth of information on cutting-edge business practices and the latest research methods to share with the entire team. As Michael explained, “I shared experiences and ideas with some of the most influential leaders in the industry, and brought back some new strategies for motivating my colleagues. Our entire office will be more driven than ever to attack difficult challenges and achieve lofty goals.”

Alpha Management CEO Discusses the Benefits of Cross-Training

Cross-training involves teaching a team member how to do the work of a colleague in another department. Alpha Management’s leadership team enjoys tremendous benefits from the process, as it provides flexibility when assigning tasks and the confidence that even the most complex projects will be completed on schedule.

Michael added, “Cross-training is great for managers, but maybe even better for those they manage. They learn new skills that they can use to build their own value, plus they get to combat stagnation or feeling bored with their work.”

The CEO is realistic when it comes to setting expectations for cross-training. As he explained, “I totally accept that those who are being cross-trained may not be as immediately productive in a new role as the individuals who trained them. It takes time and patience to succeed with a cross-training effort, so I rely heavily on feedback from everyone who participates. I want to be sure that they’re gaining from the process and that they have enough support.”

“I also believe that cross-training can improve a company’s work flow,” added Michael. “With versatile executives, you can easily move top performers from one department to another and take care of any fluctuations in productivity. Cross-training also allows someone else to fill the shoes of an individual who needs replacing, so it’s great for maintaining readiness and adaptability. With this sort of initiative in place, our company is stronger than ever.”
