Inappropriate attire … tardiness … poor work habits ... sexually offensive behavior … personal hygiene. Managers and HR professionals are routinely forced to discuss those uncomfortable topics with employees. But most never learned how.

Now you can—with Tough Talks: Scripts & Strategies for Difficult Employee Discussions. This new webinar offers realistic sample dialogues to help you sidestep potential awkwardness and conduct clear, direct discussions with employees.

Discover how to use “positive confrontation” to simultaneously protect yourself and your organization, while treating employees with dignity (and boost your image).

You’ll not only learn exactly what to say, but how to say it.

Best of all, your host will be Paul Falcone, VP of HR at Time Warner and the man who literally wrote the book on the subject—101 Tough Conversations to Have With Employees.

Special Bonus: The first 50 registrants will receive a free copy of 101 Tough Conversations. The 304-page book provides you with detailed sample dialogue to use in talking to employees about those “touchy” topics—everything from tardiness to work habits to bad breath.  

THE AGENDA:

Part I:

• The “9 Rules of Engagement” for successfully handling employee discussions. You’ll want to print out and reread those rules before any important employee talk.
• Using “perception management” in your favor to frame the discussion.
  
• How the power of guilt can be used to help employees assume responsibility for problems.
  
• A legally safe script to use when employees want to talk “off the record” about an employee relations issue.
  
• “New supervisor syndrome” and how you should address new managers differently than experienced ones.
  
• The 3 practical steps for discussions that stop attitude problems in their tracks.
  

Part II:
Paul will then provide sample scripts to use in addressing some of the most common—and the most serious—employee problems you’re likely to encounter, including:

• Behavioral problems
• Excessive absenteeism
• Patterns of absenteeism
• Personal hygiene
• Disputes among subordinates
• Layoffs
• Foul language
• Sexually inappropriate actions
• Time card “mistakes”
