101 Tough Conversations to Have with Employees

This session will help you verbally address problematic workplace situations in a proactive and constructive manner before they escalate into something far more serious.

Having tough discussions with your employees will always be a daunting task, but these “positive confrontational” techniques will help you help you address problem issues head-on, while protecting you and your company from liability and unforeseen consequences. We’ll address mediating disputes between employees, bad hair days and body odor, euphemisms like “honey, sweetie, and doll,” layoff meetings, sexually offensive behavior/leering, and convincing employees to leave when there are no written warnings on file.
