Practical guidance on how to handle difficult conversations with employees
One of the most challenging parts of managing performance is initiating conversations around sensitive topics. Managers who avoid difficult conversations risk undermining their own position and potentially losing credibility with staff.
Addressing sensitive and emotive issues, such as bullying and poor performance, in a balanced, calm, and consistent way is a valued skill. Utilising this skill in the workplace can help promote productivity, employee engagement and lead to an overall better managed workforce.
This event will provide you with effective techniques to enable you to confidently handle difficult conversations with employees.
