Dealing with Challenging Behaviours

This course helps participants recognise the importance of clear and honest communication and how if done correctly is a major step to improving work relationships. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, unique ways of communicating, and working with others. However, personality clashes, disagreements and strong differences in opinion may sometimes mean that workplace relationships and behaviours become overly challenging and unacceptable.
The training aims to develop the skills and approaches of workplace staff to build confidence and aptitude when addressing the challenging behaviours of others.
The course gives participants a much clearer understanding of the correct ways to respond, cope and react to challenging behaviours and difficult situations, and to avoid further escalation whilst trying to maintain professionalism in the workplace.
You will learn practical tools and techniques to utilise immediately when you return to work.
