Description

Give me a facilities problem, an equipment problem, even a customer problem, but please, not another employee problem!

Employee problems are often the most difficult situations most managers face. When an employee is not performing according to agreed expectations, or is displaying behaviors that interfere with co-workers' performance, coaching and feedback are not adequate strategies. This class will help you learn techniques to deal with these problem situations. You will learn formal and informal intervention techniques designed to turn around performance and behavior problems that can nag the organization and drain your energy.
