A two-day seminar for Supervisory Personnel who are or may have to deal with “Toxic Employee(s)” or personnel who are affecting performance in the workplace. This course is ideal for those who have taken the previously offered "Moving up to Supervision" seminar. It goes beyond that program's content to explore in-depth vital aspects and topics concerned explicitly with addressing and confronting personnel who are disruptive in the workplace. |
