Dealing with Rude Employees: Stop Bad Behavior in the Workplace

Summary

Sometimes people have a bad moment, or a bad day, and they behave like beasts: rude, crude and ugly. Some even take that behavior to work, acting like caged animals at the zoo with roaring outbursts and passive aggressive growling.

In this challenging time of rapid change, economic unrest, and lingering virus concerns, we're working in emotionally charged environments - which means we're dealing with even more beastly behavior (we might even be the beasts).

This 60-minute workshop focuses on dealing with truly difficult people as well as nice people struggling to work through difficult situations. After, you'll be able to handle the beasts, manage and reduce conflict in the workplace, increase employee productivity and positive energy, and lower stress for everyone.

• How to eliminate excuses for bad behavior from the discussion
• How to deflect attacks and refocus on solving the real issue
• Walk the talk: Ways to calm your personal inner beast when put to the test
