Peek Into Our Manager Training

What Customers Are Saying

Since our managers completed the Orange Training program, recognition has become more consistent and better integrated into daily life. The impact is clear in our survey results: a 18% rise in overall engagement, a 24% boost in the manager-employee relationship, and a 27% increase in recognition.

Sabryna G
Human Resources Advisor at Dessercom

Plant managers don’t have the time or inclination to sit down to theoretical training courses lasting more than an hour. The Orange Program, with videos of up to 25 minutes per week and hands-on activities, fitted in perfectly with their busy schedules and learning preferences. What’s more, as the training is spread over several weeks, they had plenty of time to put the concepts taught into practice.

Oriane Tisseyre
Total Rewards Coordinator at Nortera

My management team benefited greatly from the lessons learned in the Orange Program. We were already conducting recognition activities within work teams, but the concepts developed by the Orange Program enabled us to go even further. It was also a great opportunity to improve team cohesion among the managers in my department.

Martin Savaria
Director of Culture, Sports, Recreation, and Social Development for the Rosemont-La Petite Patrie borough

I’ve found that by actively practicing recognition, the benefits quickly become apparent. Now it’s fully integrated into our daily action plan, without having to force it. The challenges of the course were an excellent way of getting managers out of their comfort zones. Physical tools like the challenge cards remain useful to refresh memories and keep progressing, even after the program is over.
