About the Course

The Ways of Working (WoW) 2 Virtual Course builds on concepts presented during the WoW 1 and provides participants with tools to assess and build cohesive teams to support the implementation of changing operations.

>Through workshops and applied practice, the course will accompany and facilitate participants as they navigate medico-operational strategy, apply discussion-based management techniques and strengthen team dynamics.

Target audience

The primary audience for the WoW 1 are locally hired, internationally mobile and HQ staff supervisors and activity managers (level 6-12 on IRFFG).

The weekly hour estimate includes attending two facilitated virtual sessions per week (3.5 hours each) plus completing approximately 3 hours of pre-work each week. There will be a one-month practice period between weeks 6 and 7 where participants will put what they've learned to practice in their workplace before returning for the final week. There will not be any facilitated virtual sessions during the practice period.
