In addition, the Navigator programme enables employers to develop staff to their fullest potential and can be a component in any Diversity, Inclusion and/or gender initiatives. Rob Machin and Paul Virtue run the Navigator (http://www.springboardconsultancy.com/ “Having instigated the Springboard (http://www.springboardconsultancy.com/ “The Navigator programme helps you to discover how to be the best that you can be,” he added. “It helps you build on your existing skills and abilities – and helps make you increasingly productive in the workplace.” Within the Avon & Somerset police force, the programme is offered to men below middle management level. To date, 140 of the force’s police, civilian and contract staff have completed the programme. “Not only do we get ‘good quality’ people on the programme but we also receive excellent feedback from their supervisors and line managers once they’ve completed the programme,” said Rob. “In addition, the men on the programme are extremely positive about Navigator – and their enthusiasm helps to persuade others to sign up for the programme.” “A small number of those who’ve been on the programme have left the police, because they’ve realised that their job was at odds with their goals and aims in life – while many others have been promoted at work because the programme has helped to raise their aspirations and confidence levels,” added Paul.

Some men move up their career ladder after attending the Navigator development programme for men, while others stay in the same job but with an invigorated sense of purpose and a more positive attitude” said Jenny. “Among the aggregate results of the Navigator programme are that 84% of past participants say they have ‘a more positive attitude’ since attending the Navigator development programme; 82% say they have ‘better decision making’ skills; 82% say they have ‘better communication skills’, and 29% have received a performance- End About Navigator The first programme in the UK to be specifically researched and developed for men in non-management and junior management roles, Navigator is a specially designed work and personal development programme that enables those in non-management and junior management positions to identify clear, practical and realistic steps that they want to take at work and at home.
