OUR GOAL

The increased volume and scope of international investment and assistance entering the country is disproportional to the existing capacity of the local labour market. According to our market analysis, search for competent and confident candidates to undertake assignments offered by the international companies and organizations proves to be challenging.

Competent personnel is crucial for conducting successful business and project management. That is why training the Myanmar workforce is essential to meet the expanding market needs. We strongly believe that the existing potential simply needs to be developed. Our trainings develop and upgrade skills and knowledge of Myanmar employees, creating competent and pro-active staff that contributes to smooth operations of your organisation in Myanmar.

Our training programmes are designed to meet the demands of today’s fast-changing labour market in Myanmar. Synergia’s trainers deliver high-class content to build your staff technical acumen, as well as unlock their personal potential. Out programmes include:

Methodology

Action Learning

Action learning is a powerful, yet a simple process, that involves a small group of 5–8 persons working collectively on a real business problem, taking decisions and actions, and learning as individuals, as a team and as an organisation. It is an educational process by which a person studies his or her own actions and experience to improve performance.

In Short… WHY ACTION LEARNING?

Creative and breakthrough solutions
Increased empowerment and engagement
Peer coaching and giving feedback
Conflict mitigation and improved communication
Enhanced performance and efficiency of your business

Team Psychological Safety

Team Psychological Safety – Research confirms that when people feel safe within a team they will perform better; they willingly take risks, actively contribute and work hard knowing that they can depend on the others in the team to support them and put in as much effort. In a business context this is called ‘team psychological safety’ (TPS) and it is the key to high-performance teams. TPS is based on seven elements:

(1) Appreciation

(2) Mutual support

(3) Reaction to mistakes

(4) Dealing with issues

(5) Accepting diversity

(6) Taking risks

(7) Asking for help.
