Professional Global Management^®

While employment laws may vary from country to country, a global organization must set standards and policies that apply to all its employees in order to ensure consistent treatment and a professional global workplace. Professional Global Management^® (PGM) teaches managers how to build a professional environment that transcends geographical borders.

Course Overview

Modular in design, PGM is an interactive, video-based program. Rather than using the law as an anchor for behavior, PGM’s philosophy is based on using an organization’s values and policies, global workplace trends, and a solid business rationale to provide transnational managers with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to build a professional global workplace. Participants follow a simple set of guidelines to analyze issues affecting the workplace environment and learn how to make appropriate business decisions.

This program covers a range of issues dealing with the workplace environment and business decisions. Topics include the following:

• Sexual/other forms of harassment
• Unfair treatment based on age, gender, disability, pregnancy, and religion
• Retaliation
• Bullying
• Employee accommodations (disability and religion)
• Inappropriate mutual banter
• Responsibility to respond to incidents

Delivery Options

The full Professional Global Management^® framework, including ad hoc topics, comprises a four-hour instructor-led course that can be taught by ELI’s professional instructors or your own ELI^®-certified instructors. Facilitating the course without ad hocs takes three hours.

Because of the various laws and cultural norms of countries around the world, ELI^® recommends customizing a client-specific training implementation to best meet an organization’s global needs.
