Seminar Descriptions
The Employment Source offers dynamic training programs to ensure your employees have the knowledge and tools needed to perform their jobs effectively. Our programs are designed to facilitate the acceptance of change and growth in the company, as well as to develop, encourage and motivate your employees so you receive maximum performance.
Available courses are listed below. We can also tailor courses to meet your company’s needs.
How to Manage Effective
Leaders -- Through motivational strategies, managers will
learn how to build successful leadership skills and to encourage
team members towards their full potential. Employees will be
provided with the tools to become better managers, learning how to
foster teamwork, communicate expectations, delegate authority and
evaluate performance. We will also discuss how to identify
challenges such as low performance and motivational levels, and how
to avoid common managerial mistakes and self-defeating strategies.
Why Your Personality
Makes People Hate Their Jobs --We discuss the power and
influence co-workers have on each other, both intentional and
unintentional. We review methods for recognizing destructive
personalities in the workplace (passive-aggressive behaviors, for
example) and outline specific techniques for resolving employee
conflicts. Employees are also encouraged to take personal
responsibility for their actions and to be aware of how their
communicative tone and negative behaviors affect those around them.
From Good to Great
Employee -- In this course, we address productivity and
lack of initiative concerns. Issues discussed include team
motivation, self-initiative and accountability. We learn effective
behavior styles and how to enhance individual success for the
benefit of the team.
Change Is Good . . .
As Long As It Doesn’t Affect Me -- To more effectively
communicate the meaning of change, employees participate in physical
activities to demonstrate both the challenge and reward of change.
These exercises promote thinking outside of the box and stress
teamwork. We discuss overcoming defensive behaviors and working for
the success of the team.
Attitude Is
Everything -- Employees are made aware of
passive-aggressive behaviors, inappropriate language and the tone
used in communications. We stress the need for professionalism and
civility at all times. Employees are given specific tools designed
to facilitate a team environment and positive workplace climate.
Effective Time
Management -- We explore ways of approaching tasks and
organizing time and workspace for greater productivity. Employees
are provided with simple methods to gain valuable time in each
workday, learning how to delegate, organize and streamline
procedures.
Sales Training --
This course focuses on customer-needs and integrity-based
sales strategies. Sales staff learns how to negotiate for mutual
gain and build profitable, long-term relationships. The emphasis is
placed on win-win negotiations, achieving results for both the
company and the customer.
Just Say No to Sexual
Harassment -- One of the most pervasive and misunderstood
issues in the workplace, sexual harassment causes employers
significant liability issues. In 2004, employers paid out $47.9
million in compensation through complaints with the EEOC, not
including the additional amounts obtained through litigation.
Using specific examples and activities such as role playing,
employees are educated on what constitutes sexual harassment and how
to properly respond to harassing conduct. Corrective action and
procedures are outlined and employees are instructed on how to
comply with a company’s anti-harassment policies.
Embracing Diversity --
Federal and state laws require employers to give equal
opportunities to applicants and employees. Even so, people often
have difficulty embracing individual differences. Our diversity
course teaches employees how to recognize stereotypes and to avoid
false assumptions through role playing activities and open
discussions.
