Sensitivity Training For Executives


Sensitivity Training For Executives: Why You NEED it!

Hey everyone it is me Bill Walsh again -

I am taking to the blog today to talk about something that I feel is really important to emphasize. With today’s economic realities we are all looking for ways to “do more with less” and still make a profit for our companies. You and I both know that is not easy to do when your team does not feel very motivated and your workplace morale is lacking. 

In a perfect world everyone in the workspace would be respectful, highly-motivated and working towards common goals. 

Sadly, we do not live in that perfect world and interpersonal relationships, stress and others factors need to be taken into account. One of the challenges that all managers and executives have when trying to lead employees in the right direction is overcoming these issues. The best way, in my expert opinion, to do this - is to lead by example. 

When we talk about sensitivity training for executives we have to think about the trickle down effect. Any work environment is only as good as it leader. This is why I recommend sensitivity training for individuals at all levels including executive and management. A strong leader who is knowledgeable about appropriate behaviour, acts as a role model for the other employees. They are better able to instruct and reprimand inappropriate behaviour because they conduct themselves respectfully and demonstrate the standards of your workplace.

In witnessing this employees will know what is expected of them and what they should aspire to if they want to move up the corporate ladder.

For this reason providing executive sensitivity training is a must! Trust me I have been in this industry long enough to speak for it’s benefits.

The Benefits of Providing Sensitivity Training For Your Management and Executives


Refresher: executives and managing staff have likely been working within the company for awhile. They may benefit from a refresher of appropriate conduct policies, sensitivity issues and company expectations.

Clarification: new executives and managing staff may be unclear about the expectations and standards for workplace conduct. Sensitivity training is an excellent opportunity to clarify and discuss these topics openly so that their is no misunderstanding or miscommunication.

Preparation: sensitivity training for executives is also a training session where employees can learn how to properly handle coworker issues and provide feedback.

Demonstrate: as we mentioned above, providing sensitivity training for your managing and executive staff sets them up to lead by example. This is extremely valuable if you want to create a cohesive work environment where standards are upheld.

Hopefully this blog has clarified some of the main reasons why you should consider investing in sensitivity training for your leading staff.
