training days saved across the first-time manager cohort

13 first-time managers trained
1 hour a fortnight, instead of half-day sessions

Getting every manager into a three-hour session was near impossible, so we flipped it: bite-sized lessons first, then one hour together every two weeks. Our managers now bring me solutions, not problems.
