Course details

This course is aimed at all managers, registered managers, supervisors, HR staff and aspirant managers. 

One of the most challenging parts of managing performance is initiating conversations around sensitive topics. Being able to tackle contentious issues in a balanced, calm and consistent way is a valued skill in all areas of working life and can improve a line manager’s credibility with their team.

This course covers ways of addressing sensitive subject matters like bullying, emotional issues, resistance to criticism and poor performance. The event includes practical exercises where you will get hands on experience of how to manage discussions around a range of awkward subjects including personality clashes, discipline and conveying dismissal. 

This training session will be delivered by an Acas trainer whose experience and expertise of the workplace is geared towards providing down-to-earth advice and practical solutions.  The training sessions are kept to small groups which allow delegates to discuss issues with the trainer, interact and share experiences with delegates from other organisations.
