Can’t We Just All Get Along? Enhance Workplace Culture, and Get your Team Back On Side
​
Conflict amongst staff is inevitable in any workplace. The Good News: the majority of your employees and supervisors already understand what it means to conduct themselves in a way that fosters, enhances, and is generally consistent with a professional, and respectful work environment. The Not So Good News: the majority of staff conflict and issues often comes from the very small % of your team who refuse to play by the rules or simply don’t get it. The real issue for employees is having the motivation, courage and assertiveness to speak up effectively and reign in those very few; addressing concerns before they escalate. Hugh will share his no-nonsense, straightforward approach for empowering your employees to assume responsibility and take action to create a workplace that people enjoy being a part of.
