Overview of the webinar

When difficult employee behavior is not addressed properly, other employees become resentful, they lose respect for your organization’s leaders, and they start modelling the difficult employee’s behavior. Employee morale decreases and your organization’s results and culture suffer. This webinar provides practical strategies for dealing with difficult people and situations in the workplace. The strategies that are covered in this webinar should offer a path to confidently address difficult employees before the situation gets out of hand.

Why should you attend?

Difficult employees make the workplace miserable for everybody. Sometimes confronting them causes more problems and sometimes ignore them sounds like a better plan. Unfortunately, dealing with difficult employees is an unavoidable part of any manager’s job, and it’s best to address the matter sooner rather than later. This webinar covers essential skills every supervisor and manager must know to deal difficult employees, to prevent challenging situations, and to create a culture of mutual respect and understanding.
