CONFIDENT CONVERSATIONS WORKSHOPS

What Workplace Conversations Do You Avoid or Delay?

Managers, business owners and employees all need to have conversations about:

  • Feedback
  • Performance management
  • Termination
  • Redundancy
  • Bullying, harassment and discrimination
  • Pay reviews
  • Promotions
  • Mental health

Unfortunately, many people avoid having these conversations in a timely manner…or at all!

Why are we reluctant to have difficult conversations? 

  • We are scared
  • We want to be liked
  • We are unable to find the right words

And this has consequences…

Case Study: The Consequences of Silence

An employee (let’s call him Bill) had been employed by ABC Co for 18 months. Bill’s boss had been unhappy with Bill’s performance for a while, but had said nothing. One day, out of the blue, Bill’s boss ended Bills employment. BOOM! Bill felt blindsided. He filed an unfair dismissal claim.  ABC Co‘s prospects of successfully defending the claim were slim. Bill hadn’t been given any feedback, warnings or opportunity to improve. Bill’s boss’ silence was unfair.

Bill and ABC Co settled the claim at Conciliation, but neither party felt good about the outcome. Bill had to find a new job (and he still didn’t know why). ABC Co had paid ‘overs’ to Bill to avoid a hearing…and they had to hire a new employee.

It didn’t have to be this way…

Getting it Right

Having conversations about employee performance is difficult and requires courage. But doing it well is worth it.

If Bill’s boss had spoken to him about his concerns as soon as they arose, they could have agreed on a plan to improve Bill’s performance together. If Bill’s performance improved, everyone wins. If it doesn’t, there can be a respectful discussion about Bill moving on. In my experience, where employees like Bill aren’t blindsided or embarrassed, an expensive and stressful legal dispute can be avoided.

“I attended Jennifer’s workshop, ‘How to Have Difficult Conversations’. I walked away with valuable tips and guidelines for dealing with those tricky situations in the office. The workshop was engaging and approached the topic from a different perspective. With a group of professionals from different backgrounds Jennifer had us all role playing using the steps she had explained to us.

The explanations were given in a manner that made them easy to remember and also why these sorts of conversations need to be stepped through to avoid the HR pitfalls that it is so easy to drift into. Jennifer presented with a fun approach, acting, role playing and stories that give a different perspective on the issues that are being dealt with. I would highly recommend Jennifer’s workshops”.
