Bundle of 10 Webinars – Leadership & Workforce Mastery: Building High-Performing Teams and Overcoming Workplace Challenges

Webinar 1: Team Effectiveness: The Five Dysfunctions of A Team by Patrick Lencioni

This webinar will identify the five team dysfunctions: lack of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and lack of attention to results, as well as the five keys to overcoming dysfunction. Each of the five dysfunctions has its own set of challenges to overcome. While the members of the "team" may have good intentions, working together to achieve a unified goal is not accomplished by simply identifying as a "team" but rather by developing a team.

You will learn how to build consensus amongst your team. Teams often struggle to resolve conflict effectively, and as a result, conflict gets swept under the rug or becomes toxic over time. Through identification of the dysfunctional attributes of a team, managers can learn how to overcome these dysfunctions and build a team that is powerful and successful.....View Full Agenda

Webinar 2: With Mandatory Paid Leave Gaining Ground, Is It Time to Do Away With Your PTO and Go Back to a Sick/Vacation Time Off Program?

Do you have a Federal Contract? If so, you are required to provide paid sick leave to your employees. 

Do you have a contract with a municipality? If so, have you checked the fine print to see if the contract requires you to offer paid sick leave to your employees?

PTO or a Paid Time Off program that combined vacation and sick leave into one bucket of time off was the trend for many years. With the passage of these laws, many organizations are doing away with their PTO as many states require payment of unused PTO upon termination. However, the same states do not require payment of unused sick leave. Organizations can maintain their PTO Plans, but at what cost?

In this webinar, we will be reviewing mandatory paid sick leave laws in place now, review many of the differences, and go over how to transition from a Sick/Vacation policy to a PTO policy as well as making the transition from a PTO plan to a Sick/Vacation plan....View Full Agenda

Webinar 3: Terminating Employees Safely

The risks of a former employee filing a discrimination charge increase significantly after they are terminated involuntarily.

It is hard to find information on how many discrimination charges are a result of terminating employees (as opposed to hiring, discipline, or other reasons), but in my 43 years of dealing with Human Resources issues, I would say the percentage is more than 95%.

Therefore, termination must be handled well. Many steps should be followed when having a termination discussion with an employee. Following the steps in this webinar will greatly minimize your risks of being charged with discrimination when you have to terminate an employee...View Full Agenda

Webinar 7: Empowerment for Employee and Organizational Success: Treating Employees as Adults

Disciplining an employee is the start of what can be a long, costly, and relationship-damaging process with the potential to have that discipline reversed or lessened even if your facts are correct and you followed your process to the letter. Additionally, discipline does not always have a long-term or even a short-term effect. So, the question is, what is the purpose of discipline in your organization? Is it punishment? Or is it for behavioral change? 

Would you like to stop the “shame and blame games” and perceptions of victimization resulting from discipline? If the answers are “yes,” then this webinar is for you! 

By learning and using the techniques discussed in this webinar you will be able to empower employees in the best interests of their own future as well as for the organization. Additionally, should you have no other choice but to proceed with discipline these methods can help you to make a good case even better.

This webinar will introduce several alternative approaches designed to evolve your disciplinary process from punishment into empowerment and accountability...View Full Agenda

Webinar 8: Detecting Truth, Deception, and Lies While Conducting an Investigation

Truth can be elusive! Especially if someone’s lips are moving! Because there is always more to know if someone is being less than truthful. If the focus of your investigation is to establish the facts how then is it possible to find out the truth when the information you are receiving might not be accurate? Being able to know when, and if someone is being forthright/candid and truthful is a high-level skill set that, when properly developed can increase one’s value to the organization as well as have its uses on a personal level. 

This unique and comprehensive webinar will discuss why you might have to deal with inaccurate/incorrect or questionable information and how to identify it, deal with it, and even how to make it work to your and the organization’s advantage....View Full Agenda

Webinar 10: Improving Employee Retention & Engagement through Stay Interviews

It is easy to make the business case for retaining your organization’s talent because turnover is both rampant and expensive, and to make matters worse, the most talented employees:

• Have more opportunities available to them
• Are they the most expensive to replace?
• Are they the quickest to leave if they are unengaged?
• May take top performers with them
• May take customers with them

Stay Interviews have become a very popular and effective means of reducing turnover. Supervisors meet individually with their direct reports to learn why they are staying or might leave and what the supervisor can do to improve each employee's work experience. We have to ask them to know how to encourage employees to stay. Exit Interviews are too late...View Full Agenda
