.Building a Positive Workplace
.This program looks at what can be done to make workplaces more positive and consequently more productive. Today's employees do not see themselves tied to one employer. At the same time, experience and continuity are an essential part of successful organizations. Through this seminar we look at the changing expectations of employees and some of the problems and costs that occur when the workplace does not address employee needs and concerns. Significant time is devoted to hands on activities that help people develop strategies for building and maintaining a positive workplace.
.Dealing with Difficult Employees
.Almost every organization has one or more employees who create problems for their organization and their co - workers. Through "Dealing with Difficult Employees" we start out by describing what a difficult employee "looks Like" and some of the early symptoms that someone is or is starting to become a difficult employee. We also look at why some employees are or become difficult and review key corrective actions that can to be taken. The formal disciplinary process is reviewed, including employer and employee rights and responsibilities. The session concludes with an overview of policices and practices that should be in place to deal with difficult employees. Those same policies can help prevent employees from becoming difficult in the first place.
.Supervising Experienced Employees
.We know that experienced employees need different amounts of supervision and involvement from their leader/supervisor. Experienced employees generally want and need less involvement from their supervisor than a beginner. However, no matter how knowledgeable and confident the experienced is they still need some involvement and guidance from their leader.
.The difficult question is "How much supervisor involvement with an experienced employee is needed?" How do you determine the right amount of involvement in the work of the experienced employee and what are some signs that we are not providing the right amount of direction and support. We will address the challenge of determining the right amount of leader involvement for the experienced employee and provide some answers in that regard.
.Another topic involves "Effective Conflict Resolution". The interaction between a leader and an experienced employee, who feels the need to operate somewhat independently, can easily result in conflict between the leader and the person being supervised. We will look at conflict resolution approaches with suggestions about to make the conflict (disagreement) resolution effective.
.After All You're the Supervisor
.Supervision requires many skills, skills that are different from those that needed to be an effective team member. Effective team members need to develop skills that help them do a specific job well. The skills needed to be an effective supervisor focus on facilitating excellence on the part of the team members, helping others to be successful. The discussion and group activities in this seminar are built around a video of the experiences of a new supervisor, the challenges that supervisor faced and how that supervisor effectively dealt with those challenges. In this process we identify the key tasks of the supervisor and provide examples and activities on how these tasks are successfully accomplished.
.This seminar is directed to both new and experienced supervisors and to helping supervisors identify the many skills needed by a supervisor and on how to develop the skills needed to accomplish that task.
.Performance Based Employee Appraisal
.Covers key elements of effective performance appraisal. Goal setting is emphasized. Includes involving people in setting and tracking their own goals, working with people with different levels of skill and experience and dealing with sub-standard performance.
.Strategic Planning & Building a Shared Vision
.Provide training in the process of strategic planning and building a shared vision or facilitate that process for organizations. Help harness the energy that develops when organizations build a clear purpose, understandable goals and objectives and a shared vision of what their future will look like.
