Background

ECOS had a significant growth in staff in the last two years. This growth brought ECOS to redefine its structure and to adapt accordingly its decision making.

1. Department teams expanded.
2. Team leaders have more complex leadership responsibilities and more staff management challenges
3. ECOS values staff professional development and encourages its employees to explore their talents. Therefore, ECOS staff have the possibility to have line management responsibilities (employees and trainees) as a way to discover and improve their own leadership potential.

These circumstances fuelled the need of developing a leadership program (training and coaching) for ECOS leaders and programme managers.

Objective of this tender
