Managing Difficult Behaviours
The modern work environment places many demands on the Manager, not least, the need to treat ‘difficult’ employees with the same care and respect afforded to those who are less demanding.

Managing Generations
We are entering a new age of work – never before have we had such a cross generational workforce. This is due to many things such as retirement ages being pushed back because we are living longer.

Because of these factors, the chances are you are managing a wide range of ages and experiences which need different leadership styles.
This interactive and engaging course has been designed to help you manage a cross generational team with confidence and ease. They review the myths and facts for each generation (and what that means for managers) as well as exploring how the participants can make sure they get the very best out of cross generational teams.

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
o Articulate the different generations in the workplace, and differentiate what is a myth about that generation, and what is a fact.
