SENSITIVITY TRAINING

You know the scenario: There's this great performer in your company, maybe the top exec, or the lead salesperson, someone you really need, but, at the same time, someone whose inappropriate workplace behavior is unsettling the office or even putting your company at risk for litigation. You don't want to lose this asset, but you want to make sure that their out-of-line behavior doesn't continue.

Because EP Specialists is expert in both Employment Law and Employment Practices, its one-on-one sensitivity training is much more sophisticated than a "stop or you'll get us sued" approach.

Depending on the underlying facts, the typical training covers the following areas:

Analysis of Causes
What are the beliefs and attitudes that led to the problematic behavior?

Understanding of Consequences
How does the individual's behavior affect their personal credibility, performance, and morale, as well as that of the workplace and company in general?

Clarification of the Law
What constitutes acceptable and unacceptable workplace behavior?

Clarification of Company Policy
What are the company policies and obligations under federal and state laws?

Setting of Goals
What changes in behavior are expected?

Providing Necessary Tools
What tools does the individual need to successfully achieve performance expectations?

At the conclusion of the training, EP Specialists provides the employer with a written summary that verifies the substance of the training. The summary establishes the company's proactive and remedial efforts and the employee's participation.
