Overview:    Behavioral issues in the workplace are inevitable.  Whenever you have diverse groups of people working together, issues will arise.  Each employee brings to the workplace a unique set of attitudes, ideals and beliefs that may differ from that of their coworkers.  In addition to behavioral issues, the issue of workplace incivility and the negative impact it has on your organization’s culture is monumental.  Unresolved behavioral issues often result in loss of revenue, lessening of productivity, the stifling of creativity, and the creation of barriers to cooperation and collaboration.

It is helpful to view behavioral issues as opportunities.  Within every employee issue, there is the potential for tremendous teaching and learning opportunities.  There is also the potential for growth and development.  When you address divergent positions properly, you can stimulate innovation and learning in ways you cannot imagine.

Problematic behavior usually develops over time.  As a Manager, the more proactive you are in dealing with these problems, the more likely it is that you will increase your chances for a positive outcome.  Issues that are avoided or ignored will only fester and grow into resentment.

Participation in this webinar will provide participants with the necessary tools and information to effectively and confidently address workplace issues in their organization.
