HEALTHIER WORKPLACES AND KENCREST PARTNER
TO PROVIDE INSPIRED LEADERSHIP FOR BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE

Healthier Workplaces, a Bucks County, Pa.-based management training and employee relations consultancy, has partnered with KenCrest, a Plymouth Meeting, Pa.- based not-for-profit organization.  KenCrest is a pioneering provider of social and educational support services to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism.  Healthier Workplaces, headed by Larry Wenger, a veteran human resources consultant specializing in both the not-for-profit and corporate leadership arena, is leading the effort, which will enhance the professional knowledge of more than 300 KenCrest directors, managers and supervisors on management best practices to continue the program and service  delivery to KenCrest clients.  

            The course, entitled “Excellence in Leadership and Supervision” will build upon the leadership skills of KenCrest’s management and supervisory staff and positions the agency for future sustainability and continued growth.   KenCrest  provides services primarily in southeastern Pennsylvania, but also operates programs in Connecticut and Delaware, employing a total of nearly 2,500 people. 

The course provides participating staff with a 36-hour training program over a six-week period. It will help them solidify their understanding of leadership and management best practices, develop a clearer awareness of their own leadership styles, identify areas in which a change in their behavior might increase their leadership success, and apply the knowledge and assessment information to their daily activity.  The course is being held in several locations concurrently, so that staff from a  variety of work locations  can conveniently attend.  It is anticipated that all trainings will be completed by July 2016.

           

“KenCrest,” designated as one of the Philadelphia area’s top places to work, “is to be commended for taking on a staff development project like this”, says Healthier Workplaces’ Larry Wenger.  “It says a lot about their commitment to maintaining the workplace as a setting of excitement, growth and challenge.  We’re honored to be partnering with them in this effort.   Often, when economic times are uncertain, employee training is one of the first expenses to be cut.  KenCrest’s  bold move to make this kind of an investment in their future, and that of their staff, speaks volumes about the organization’s commitment to quality services.   

            Since 2005, many human service organizations and leading companies throughout the Northeast have trusted Healthier Workplaces, headquartered in Newtown, Pa., for training on leadership development and employee morale and relations. Larry Wenger and his team of expert trainers have years of experience in the area of social management.  To learn more about Healthier Workplaces, visit www.HealthierWorkplaces.com.
