Program Description:

Do You Ever Struggle With the Best Way to Counsel and Discipline Employees?

You ve suspected Sam of padding his expense reports for several months. And you ve just found more evidence that supports your suspicions. Even though you dread it, you know you have to confront Sam.

But as you call him in to discuss the problem, your mind starts racing. Should you come on strong to let him know you mean business, or should you take a softer approach? What should you do if he acts offended and clams up? Tries to make you feel guilty for accusing him? Or, worse yet, gets angry and threatens to quit?

If you ve ever had to discipline an employee for problems like insubordination or excessive absenteeism, or had to counsel an employee for performance problems like missed deadlines or careless mistakes, you ve probably run up against nagging dilemmas like these.

Unfortunately, there s no formula you can use to make counseling and disciplining an easy task. It never will be. But there is a way to make it a lot less risky, stressful and complex. It s this innovative and timely seminar coming to your area soon. And it s guaranteed to give you the skills and know-how you need to legally prepare for — and successfully handle — every counseling and disciplinary situation that comes up.

In just six hours, you ll gain the insight and tools you need to counsel employees about their performance ... learn guidelines to follow when discipline is unavoidable ... discover real-life tips for staying in control of potentially explosive situations ... and determine what to do to legally protect your company and yourself.

The result? You can confront an employee when it s necessary, resolve the problem and get back to work, without a lot of hassles and headaches.

Why This Seminar Works
We won t waste your time on pat answers you d find in management textbooks — approaches that are long on theory but short on practice. Instead, we ll look at tough, real-life situations that occur in the workplace. And we ll deal with the questions, reservations and concerns managers like you face when confronting employees.

For example, you ll learn strategies the pros use when they must call an employee "on the carpet" — and how they get positive, constructive results from every confrontation. You ll discover how to strictly enforce company policies without seeming like a police officer. And you ll learn how to protect yourself legally when you fear an employee you ve disciplined may sue.

It s An Investment That Will Keep Paying Off
This seminar will pay for itself again and again, and here s why:
First, you ll gain the self-confidence and know-how you need to manage every discipline problem correctly — no matter how tricky or complicated it might be. Instead of dreading or putting off confronting an employee because you re not sure what to say or how an employee will react, you ll be able to address and resolve problems quickly — even on the spot.

Second, as you apply these skills and techniques, you ll be amazed at how easily you can turn problem employees around ... even those who may be inches from being fired.

Third, you ll avoid the costly and damaging results of conducting counseling sessions the wrong way, like misunderstandings, resentful employees, low morale and poor productivity. And you ll also be able to sidestep the legal pitfalls of disciplining incorrectly — hassles that take a bite out of your credibility and your company s bottom line.

It s A No-Risk Offer
You will be completely satisfied with what you learn at this seminar or we ll refund your entire registration fee.
