| What is QClub? It’s short for ‘QualityClub’ – a new initiative from the No Harm Done Podcast co-hosts. We know that human service quality roles can be tough and isolating. The NHD podcast has tapped into many people feeling unsupported and directionless (and sometimes like a giant imposter!) – so we’ve decided to do something about it. For more information and to express interest, go to our website www.QualityClub.com.au |
Whether you’re a team of one, or even part of a bigger group, we know that life as a quality manager has multiple challenges. Have you ever wondered?:
- What should I be doing?
- I feel like an impostor.
- I’ve had no training.
- I don’t seem to be able to set boundaries for my role.
- I don’t have the knowledge to do some of the things I’m asked to do.
- I can’t get people to engage in improvement.
- People don’t do what I need them to do.
- My manager doesn’t understand what my role is.
If this sounds familiar, read on.
Quality Club – ‘QClub’ is a six-month online program, supporting people in quality roles in human services. Doesn’t matter where you sit – acute, aged, mental health, community, disability – if you’re in a quality role and feeling like you’re not quite sure you’re covering all the bases, QualityClub is for you!
It’s one part mentoring, one part coaching, one part training and one part peer support for a group of quality managers who want more satisfaction and achievement from their role.
