Handling Difficult Situations - for Supervisors and Managers
 
Whether you are a new supervisor or have been in a management position for years, knowing how to handle difficult situations can mean the difference in retaining employees and customers, or losing them to the competition. In most cases, a customer wants to see the manager or supervisor when there is a problem, or if the problem wasn't satisfactorily handled by the front line employee. Knowing how to resolve the customer's complaint, without throwing the staff person "under the bus" can make you a truly effective boss.

This workshop provides a practical guide on how to handle difficult situations effectively and ensure successful outcomes.

WHEN: January 15, 2015
TIME: 9:00am-12:00pm
COST: Complimentary (one time only!); Regular $40.00+GST
