Course description
Did you know that just one bad attitude can affect an entire organization? Once negativity enters the workplace, it can cost your company plenty—in lowered morale, lost opportunities and decreased productivity. Do you know how to handle negative situations correctly when they arise? Combating negative attitudes before they spread will help you avoid sticky situations and put an end to problem performers and unacceptable behaviors.
Let's face it — not every member of an organization is going to be 100 percent happy all the time. Negativity often invades your workplace due to insecurity, boredom or even resentment, and it can spread like wildfire and attack an entire department's morale and ability to perform. Detecting potential problems before they spread is key to defusing harmful situations and stopping them in their tracks.
Dealing with negativity requires open communication, good listening skills and the ability to focus on solutions rather than the problem. This informative program will provide you with proven strategies, tips and techniques to help you renew motivation where negativity may have taken hold within your organization.
