The Malta Institute of Management offers a vast portfolio of Short Courses aimed to address market and organisational needs. In effect, courses, such as, Purchasing Management and Office Management Skills were run several times this year due to them being over subscribed every time. Upon request, these short courses are also offered tailor made for interested organisations. Recently a group of MIM’s participants have just finished the 4-Week Office Management Skills course.

Office management skills comprises a number of vital functions, including building your portfolio, being accountable, team spirit, communicating effectively, providing feedback, managing multiple projects simultaneously, and working with change. The Office Management Skills course, delivered by Dr.Vanessa Borg (Director of Studies for MIM) takes on a pragmatic approach to ensure that skills acquired during the programme may easily be translated back at the workplace with the aim of improving productivity and pride in employees. Being able to develop interpersonal skills and meeting and exceeding expectations not only increases employees’ acumen, but also enhances organisations’ overall performance levels.

This programme was run for the Eden Foundation group which MIM partly sponsored as in role with its corporate social responsibility. The participants that amounted to approximately 20 came from various levels in the management including first-line managers and middle management. MIM is aiming to launch a new Office Management Skills course. Those interested kindly contact nbianco@maltamanagement.com
