Harassment, Bullying, Gossip, Confrontational and Disruptive Behavior Webinar

OVERVIEW

Bad attitudes, jealousy and disruptive behavior will sabotage hospital morale, lower self-esteem and reduce teamwork and productivity. When toxic behavior infects a department, managers may be tempted to ignore it or give in, the wrong thing to do, but tolerating it is not a solution!

This session will show you how to neutralize gossip and put a system in place to ensure it does not re-occur, starting with that of Zero Tolerance and workplace reprimands.

The destructive effects of blaming others, griping, pessimism and of always passing the buck needs to be stopped. In this session, you will learn to keep emotional control and tame disruptive and destructive behavior.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

Whatever happened to respect?

Rude, indifferent, emotionally troubled, overworked and disengaged employees do more harm to your business and employee productivity than you can afford. A workplace culture of tolerating a bad attitude by one or more employees is not acceptable. A lot of time, the cause of the employee attitude is generated from how they are treated at work, a seeming lack of respect of them.

Is it you or is it them that is the problem?

When you fully exercise your position power, you will dramatically improve the strained relationship and drive up their personal power. Respect comes from knowing the person and this session is how to find out what matters, drives and engages them. When you have a language of caring, you create respect. This session is how to change the viewing of this person and their behavior to move them to be solution oriented.

Respect drives up trust, engagement and creativity. When you move from cautious and superficial small talk to actually deal with the issue by a language of caring and a blameless apology, you go from a response of: “I thought you would never ask” to “Thank you, let’s clear this up.”
