REGISTRATIONS OPEN FOR 2ND ANNUAL FIELD MANAGER SUMMIT

Registrations are now open for the 2nd Annual Field Manager Summit, organised by the Franchise Relationships Institute.

The travelling program which runs for two days in each of Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney includes 12 break out seminars and Masterclasses covering a range of specialised topics relevant to the field management role.

Greg Nathan, Managing Director of FRI, says last inaugural year’s event was dedicated to recognising the important work field managers do in supporting their franchisees, whereas this year the focus will be on improving the ability of field managers to address important emerging areas they face in their work. “Specific issues we’ll be tackling, which weren’t covered last year, include how to engage non-English speaking franchisees, how to support multi-unit franchisees and the best way to use social learning tools to promote constructive communication and learning within franchise networks.”

Last year’s Field Manager Summit was held in three States and attracted 300 field consultants from over 60 brands across Australia and New Zealand. According to Greg Nathan the feedback was overwhelming with most participants commenting on the benefits of networking with their peers and learning practical skills to boost their performance.
