Oftentimes, the first response to an employee grievance, disciplinary issue or other matters can determine the likelihood of a successful or failed outcome, or a subsequent trade dispute. Additionally, failure to comply with the provisions of key labour laws will undoubtedly expose the business to unnecessary risks that will cost the organisation valuable time, money, productivity and other resources. Is this a risk you are willing to take during this tumultuous time? This programme will help leaders by demystifying various aspects of critical labour laws pertinent to the protection of workers and ensure that your management team is prepared and confident in their ability to address workplace issues and legal challenges as they arise.

Geared towards any person with responsibility for managing and leading others, this session will explore various methods to recognise, communicate and document workplace performance in a proactive manner. Whether you operate in an onsite, fully remote, or in a hybrid work environment, we will also discuss effective strategies for maintaining employee engagement while managing employee performance to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

This means that once you are dealing with people, there will be emotions, attitudes, frustrations and a number of other types of good as well as undesirable behaviours. How your staff responds to challenging customer issues or concerns is paramount to maintaining the organisation’s image and reputation. In our hyperconnected society, one negative experience can quickly go viral on various social media platforms, ultimately impacting the choices potential customers make and a company’s bottom line. This programme will provide your team with the knowledge, exercises, and techniques to professionally and empathically respond to challenging customer situations with confidence, thereby allowing the organisation to maintain its edge and stand out from the competition. Topics to be Covered Why it is critical to be an emotionally intelligent service provider?

Organisations are not only required to navigate the changing structures of work and a highly enlightened workforce, but they are also facing changes and new challenges driven by political, economic, social, technological, legal, health and environmental issues. Reinvention in the face of fast, continuous change and complexity requires a different calibre of supervisors - individuals that are resilient, who can both perform and encourage performance by nurturing their reports to flourish and achieve their full potential. Frontline supervisors continue to perform one of the most important functions, given the influence they hold over employees and the responsibilities with which they are entrusted to maintain the highest level of productivity. It is therefore imperative that every supervisor at the organisation is able to adopt a mindset and attitude that will allow them to respond competently to changing times. This workshop is designed to equip future, new and seasoned supervisors with the requisite mentality, approach and skillset to improve their ability to self-manage while simultaneously improving the relationship and performance of their direct reports.
