<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
When companies look to
improve customer service, too many organizations make the mistake of focusing solely
on external customer service. Measuring and analyzing how could we get better at
identifying and meeting the expectations of our customers & users...Trying
to identify tips and techniques that can set us apart from our competition are
all very important. </div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
But, the mistake that is too
often made is the direction of our improvement focus. Instead of just focusing externally,
let’s also look internally on how we identify and meet the expectations of our internal
customers – our colleagues and coworkers. What type of service are we providing
to our internal customers? In too many cases, external customer service
delivery is negatively impacted by internal miscommunication, poor internal coordination
or simply put “the left hand not knowing what the right hand needed or had
promised to the customer!” </div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
Robert Townsend, founder
of the Avis Corp. (the “We Try Harder” people) understood it completely. He
said “If you’re not directly serving a customer, you damn well better be
supporting the someones who are!” Too often we find that we are the ones who
are shooting ourselves in the foot. The old comic strip “Pogo” said it best in
one of their strips – “We have identified the enemy – and the enemy is us!” We’ve
all had those situations where lack of internal coordination or communication created
self-imposed hoops that we had to jump through to meet external customer’s
deadlines or expectations. On the drive or ride home we sadly shake our heads
and say to ourselves - “Sometimes, we are successful in spite and despite of
ourselves.” </div>

Many employees are trained to deliver good service to external customers. However, dealing with their internal customers (such as employees, stakeholders) is still a challenge even these days. This is partly because institutions tend to focus more on their external customers, when in fact internal customers should be given the same level of interest as well.<br />
<br />
There are compelling reasons why businesses should improve their internal customer services some of these are the following:<br />
<ul>
<li><i>It maintains an ideal environment for workforce, needed to deliver efficient services</i> - a high level of service and support should begin from within the organization; when employees are happy, they are able to emulate it for external customers</li>
<li><i>A good working relationship within an organization is key to a high level of productivity, service or product quality and efficiency</i> - necessary to create external customer loyalty. </li>
<li><i>Internal customer service is a good training ground for enhanced external customer service</i> - once your employees’ customer service skills are already polished inside your company, no doubt they are able to provide such high level of service to external customers with ease.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<br />
A few months ago, on the blog, I gave tips for businesses managing teleworking employees.<br />
<div>
<br />
Today, I would like to address both the managers of virtual employees and the telecommuters<br />
<br />
themselves. This includes those of you who are working from home, as remote employees.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Members of a Virtual Team:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
1. <span style="color: red;">Be dependable and reliable. </span>Make sure you are taking this job as seriously as you would<br />
<br />
if you were in the physical office. Meet the deadlines set out for you by your manager. If<br />
<br />
you are unable to meet the agreed-upon deadline for your project, make sure and keep<br />
<br />
everyone involved apprised of the situation, and where you are on the project.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <span style="color: red;">Make sure you know what your management expects</span>. Clear communication is key<br />
<br />
when you are working remotely. Make sure expectations and deadlines are understood<br />
<br />
by both parties involved so there are no surprises. If you aren't clear on your boss's<br />
<br />
expectations, speak up.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. <span style="color: red;">Get to know your colleagues.</span> When you are working on a project with others, take time<br />
<br />
to get familiar with those you will be working with. You won't have the same<br />
<br />
opportunity to get to know your peers as you would if you worked in an office together,<br />
<br />
so do a little research (either on social media or by sending them a get-to-know-you<br />
<br />
email) so you can see where they are coming from. You may also want to take a minute<br />
<br />
or two to find out a little about them on the phone. It's important to create a<br />
<br />
relationship with those on your virtual team.<br />
<br />
<br />
4.<span style="color: red;"> Talk when you need to. </span>Technology is great! Being able to email and message people is<br />
<br />
a very efficient way to communicate. But sometimes things can get lost in translation<br />
<br />
and emails can be ambiguous. If you are dealing with a topic that can be easily<br />
<br />
misunderstood, or one that is complicated, you will want to pick up the phone rather<br />
<br />
than shooting off an email.<br />
<br />
<br />
5.<span style="color: red;"> Don't get lost</span>. If you can arrange regular progress reports and stay in regular<br />
<br />
communication with your boss, you won't fall off his radar. Be assertive and proactive so<br />
<br />
that you will not get overlooked, as can happen when you aren't in their proximity daily.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. <span style="color: red;">Keep up to date on technology. </span>Make sure you are proficient in the latest hardware and<br />
<br />
software that will be needed for the job. You don't want to slow down the team by<br />
<br />
being the person who always needs to ask how to do things. If you don't know how,<br />
<br />
take some time to learn.<br />
<br />
<br />
7.<span style="color: red;"> Research cultural differences and take them into consideration</span>. Because you are<br />
<br />
working remotely, your colleagues may be from different countries, have different<br />
<br />
backgrounds, and different cultures than you. You want to be sensitive to the cultural<br />
<br />
differences of your colleagues. You may want to invest in sensitivity training (Proven<br />
<br />
Training Solutions offers this).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Virtual Team Managers:</b><br />
<br />
1. <span style="color: red;">Make sure your expectations are clear.</span> Are your directions and expectations clear?<br />
<br />
Ensure that your remote employees are aware of your what you expect regarding<br />
<br />
deadlines and work completed.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <span style="color: red;">Use virtual meetings as a tool. </span>You will need to become a master of communication and<br />
<br />
be able to manage virtual meetings so that your team can effectively communicate.<br />
<br />
3. Hire the right people. Some qualities that make people well-suited for remote work<br />
<br />
include: above average communication skills, ability to work on their own, being self-<br />
<br />
starter, and great organizational skills. List these qualities when posting and<br />
<br />
interviewing for the position. You want to make sure that the person ( or people ) you<br />
<br />
hire are suited for the job.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. <span style="color: red;">Make your orientation face-to-face.</span> Once you've hired the right person, it's time to<br />
<br />
train them. Take time to meet with your new employee in person if possible. Meeting in<br />
<br />
person can make a difference in the quality of your working relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. <span style="color: red;">Be sensitive to cultural differences.</span> Invest in cultural sensitivity training. Research the<br />
<br />
country and culture of your new employees if they live in a different country than you.<br />
<br />
This will help you inadvertently offend your new employee and will also help your<br />
<br />
relationship grow.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. <span style="color: red;">When you commit - see it through.</span> It can be extremely frustrating for an employee<br />
<br />
when the manager procrastinates. If they have to wait at length for you to make a<br />
<br />
decision or to get back to them with the information they need to complete a project, it<br />
<br />
could hurt your relationship. Commit to following through on your commitments to<br />
<br />
your remote employees.<br />
<br />
These days more people are teleworking than ever before. I have noticed a dramatic increase in the demand for training in this area. Hopefully managers find these tips useful and can keep them in mind when managing their off-site employees.<br />

<span class="s1">Going into 2016 I have been booked for many <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/">Sensitivity Training Courses</a> for businesses in Washington and Arlington.

<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Year after year Sensitivity Training continues to be a popular training course and honestly, I think this is a good thing. </span></div>

<span class="s1">Employees, often snicker and laugh when dealing with the sensitive matters addressed during “sensitivity training”. As the trainer I have learnt to take this with a grain of salt. I just hope that what I am teaching sinks in.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It is true that we are in a very enlightened era. However, matters of workplace harassment and abuse are not to be scoffed at. Inappropriate conduct can cost businesses money when lawsuits are filed. Employees, can lose their job if they do not conduct themselves appropriately. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">For this reason Sensitivity Training continues to be necessary (and needed) in all workplaces. It doesn’t matter how modern or progressive your office is your employees need to be properly educated about conduct issues. It is wise to provide them with training for liability purposes as well. This way you can at least be certain that everyone is aware of the expectations and policies that are in place.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">That is just my two cents. Going into 2016, I am hoping that there will be less “news” about large workplace harassment lawsuits. I also am hoping that my training courses actually sink in.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Last week we talked about managing team members who are working remotely.<a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/managing-remote-and-offsite-employees/"> In today’s blog we are going to talk a bit more about strategies for improving communication and productivity from your off site staff.</a></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">As a manager there are a few things that so make dealing with offsite and teleworking employees that are slightly more difficult. For instance, when you have off site employees you have to be more diligent about communicating and interacting with your employees. Instead of waiting to run into them at the water cooler you must go out of your way to touch base and communicate clearly with your remote employees</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">When you do communicate with your off site employees it is important to be organized and discuss the important items that need to be dealt with. Here are some pointers to make this easier.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Communicating effectively with your off site or remote employees</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>1. Establish goals</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">First things first, in order to make the most out of the time you have talking to your off site employee begin the conversation by defining some clear goals for the conversation.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This will help you stay on track and make sure you get to the most important items during the conversation.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>2. Plan for the next conversation</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Once you have touched on your goals for the conversation also make sure that you establish your expectations for the next conversation. Also schedule the future conversation so that your remote employee has a clear deadline.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>3. Let your employee know how they can reach you if they need you</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Before you conclude your conversation make sure that you also let your employee know when you will be available if you are needed for questions or clarification. This helps to let your employee feel more comfortable reaching out to you if they need assistance before your next scheduled conversation.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>4. Reinforce the positive</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Because remote employees often feel out of the loop make an effort to reinforce the positive and thank them for their role in the team!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>5. Don’t leave them out</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Lastly make an extra effort to include remote employees in workplace meetings, social events and communications. If you want your off site employees to give their all. Make sure that you include them in the day to day operations of the business. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">When you are dealing with employees who are not located in the same building as the rest of your team it can be easy to forget or neglect that relationship. As a manager it is important to go the extra mile when communicating with your telecommuters so that they feel as if they are part of the bigger picture. <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/managing-remote-and-offsite-employees/">This will help you to create a stronger and more productive working environment. </a></span><br />

<div class="p1">
Hey everyone, it is Bill again and I am back to share a few of my thoughts on <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/managing-remote-and-offsite-employees/">managing employees who are telecommuting!</a></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">A larger number of businesses are allowing their employees to work remotely these days. As more companies embrace this trend, new techniques to manage teleworking and offsite employees are being explored. New technology has made the management of employees located at home (or other locations) easier than ever. However, not having your team onsite every day can raise a few workplace challenges. Today, we are going to talk about some helpful strategies that will allow you to more easily support and lead a team offsite staff.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Individuals in all industries, working in all sorts of roles are now able to stay home and work remotely.This can be an excellent way for a company to save money on office spaces. It can also boost morale and overall productivity. </div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In these circumstances managers often struggle to coach and lead remote workers effectively with the biggest challenge being clear communication and regulating time management. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I have had many years of experience coaching leaders on managing employees. I also have a few theories about how you can keep things running smoothly even when managing teleworkers/ offsite individuals. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Communication is key!</b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
Employees working remotely, can often get left out of the loop. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This is especially true when dealing with different time zones or work schedules. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
As a manager it is important to remember that you cannot expect everyone to be available all of the time.<br />
<br />
To make the telecommuting experience more beneficial for everyone it is important to establish communication guidelines and expectations early on. Come up with routine virtual meeting times that are consistently the same. Also express deadlines for responses on important emails or assignments. You should also make sure that you also stick to these agreements as the manager. Lead by example and set a standard so that your employees know that you are reliable. Good employees will return the favour!</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Time Management is Not As Important As Meeting Deadlines -</b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p1">
Truthfully when you are dealing with telecommuters it is nearly impossible to expect your employees to work on a "set schedule". The greatest perk of remote work is that you can create your own day structure and choose when and how you work. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Instead of taking this flexibility away from your employees embrace it! Avoid making "rules" about how many hours each day employees must work. Do set concrete deadlines and encourage your remote employees to meet them. Try allowing your employees to choose their own work schedule but also be clear about your deadline expectations. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
You'll find that some employees prefer an 8 hour work day, while others will take days off and work full days to get the job done. You will also find that morale is higher because employees are free to manage their own time. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Make this work by keeping the lines of communication clear and sticking to a regular communication schedule.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Embracing the challenge of managing teleworking and offsite employees </b></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Obviously, managing teleworking employees comes with a fair share of challenges. In my experience I have found that the best way to work with a team under these circumstances is by embracing the situation and actually using it as an incentive. If you make it clear that working remotely is a privilege and way that you show trust to your staff, you will be met with a much more positive response. Remember though, you have to set communication standards and maintain them to make the arrangement work. You should also "let go" of the 8 hour work day and embrace a more free range structure for your remote team. Try to place emphasis on getting the work done in time for a deadline rather that within a conventional work day.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Good Luck!<br />

<h2>
<span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;">3 Things To Know About Managing Offsite Employees</span></h2>
<br />
Welcome back to my personal proven training blog. Today, I want to share some more information about a popular training curriculum that I have been promoting, <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/managing-remote-and-offsite-employees/">Managing Offsite and Remote Employees.</a><br />
<br />
At Proven Training Solutions, Managing Offsite and Remote Employees is one of our most popular training programs specifically in the DC area. I am often recruited to coach managers on these topics in Washington, Virginia and Arlington. In these demographics there appears to be more businesses working with employees off site. An offsite employee is any employee that does not work in the main building with the other staff. This employee may be located anywhere. They may work from home or be located in another facility.<br />
<br />
So, if you find yourself in a situation where you are responsible for managing a remote employee, what do you do?<br />
<br />
These days thanks to the internet and mobile devices it is easy to stay in touch with off site employees. However, motivating, managing and communicating with them is a whole other story.<br />
<br />
I am going to share with you three things that I recommend all managers do when dealing with an employee who is telecommuting.<br />
<br />
<b>1. More contact</b><br />
<br />
Although you will see an offsite employee less you should talk to them more. This isn't just for efficiency and discipline, but to help make that employee feel as if they are still part of the team. You want everyone who is working for you to feel like them matter. Scheduling regular daily check ins is a good way to do this.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Call them, don't text or email them</b><br />
<br />
When dealing with a remote employee it may feel easy just to send communications via email or text. However, it is a better idea to call them on the phone or video conference when possible so that, once again, they feel connected. Adding this personal touch will help make the employee feel as if they are more responsible and will help with time management. Not to mention it will assist in nurturing loyalty as well as open communication.<br />
<br />
Remember, texts and emails can often be misconstrued. Make a phone call to remote employees to assure that communication is clear. This is especially important when discussing sensitive issues.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Make an effort to make that individual feel included in the team dynamic</b><br />
<br />
Lastly, if you wish to be successful managing an employee off site make sure that you include them in all aspects of business operation. This includes both onsite and offsite issues. Have them provide feedback on new projects as well. Do not exclude them from the team just because they are located offsite. This will make this employee feel more valued.<br />
<br />
These days there are more and more business structures that include employees working offsite. Because of technology there is absolutely no reason why a remote employee should ever feel off the grid.<a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/managing-remote-and-offsite-employees/"> Our Proven Training Solutions program Managing Offsite and Remote Employees educates managers about the challenges of dealing with employees who are not working in the same facility with them. </a><br />

Preventing Harassment in The Workplace Starts With Proper Training And Awareness</h1>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hello again,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks for visiting my Proven Training Blog! Today I want to talk about one of the most important issues people in the workforce deal with today, sexual harassment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sexual harassment lawsuits affect more than just productivity. If a suit is issued it can lead to a costly legal case. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When sexual harassment occurs in the workplace everyone is impacted. It can lower moral, upset the workplace dynamic and makes it very difficult for people to trust one another and feel safe at work. </div>
<div>
In my experience as a business professional I have found that the best way to avoid harassment issues is by <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/human-resources-training/promoting-a-diverse-and-harassment-free-workplace/">providing proper awareness training for your staff.</a> When behaviour expectations are properly communicated and enforced, employees are less likely to act inappropriately leading to issues down the road. With proper training regarding sexual harassment employees are more likely to treat each other with respect. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is about educating employees about communicating professionally with one another.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By providing this type of training we are able to reduce the amount of harassment complaints that are caused by miscommunication.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In our program we address cultural, generation and religious difference that relate to sensitivity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As part of our prevention training we teach employees about proper communication and respect so that we can essentially eradicate any harassment or discrimination.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At the end of the day avoiding sexual harassment or any harassment related complaints in the workplace is about providing proper training for all of your employees. As always education and awareness is the first step to prevention.</div>

I have spent my summer hosting several <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/sensitivity-training/sensitivity-training-for-doctors/">sensitivity training courses specifically for doctors</a>. Over the last few years the demand for sensitivity training for physicians has dramatically increased! For this reason I have developed a specific proven training curriculum that caters to individuals employed in the medical field. In today's blog I want to talk about this new curriculum and why sensitivity training for individuals in this important industry is approached a little bit differently.<br />
<br />
I mentioned in my last blog, <a href="http://www.proventrainingblog.com/2015/08/sensitivity-training-for-executives-why.html">Sensitivity Training for Executives</a> that sensitivity training can be extremely beneficial for all workplaces. Not only does sensitivity training help to assure that everyone is conducting themselves in a respectful and professional manner, it also helps to clarify some of the common questions that employees have about workplace interactions. When your employees receive sensitivity training they are less likely to act inappropriately or put your corporation at risk of interpersonal liabilities.<br />
<br />
When it comes to sensitivity training for doctors, this is extremely important! Not only because physicians need to represent themselves professionally around their co-workers but also because they have to be conscious about how they behave around patients.<br />
<br />
Throughout the day medical professionals encounter a variety of different people in various circumstances. It is important that they know how to responsibly engage and interact with these patients while also remaining professional and adhering to the conduct guidelines that have been established by their employer.<br />
<br />
All of these components are addressed in the <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/sensitivity-training/sensitivity-training-for-doctors/">Proven Training Solutions Sensitivity Training For Doctors training program.</a> This curriculum has been specifically designed for medical professionals and the things that they encounter every day in their industry.<br />
<br />

<h2>
<span class="s1">Sensitivity Training For Executives: Why You NEED it!</span></h2>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Hey everyone it is me Bill Walsh again -</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">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. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In a perfect world everyone in the workspace would be respectful, highly-motivated and working towards common goals. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Sadly, we do not live in that perfect world and interpersonal relationships, stress and others factors need to be taken into account. <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/sensitivity-training-executives/">One of the challenges that all managers and executives have when trying to lead employees in the right direction is overcoming these issues. </a>The best way, in my expert opinion, to do this - is to lead by example. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">When we talk about <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/sensitivity-training-executives/">sensitivity training for executives</a> 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.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">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. <br />
<br />
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.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<h3>
<span class="s1">The Benefits of Providing Sensitivity Training For Your Management and Executives</span></h3>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Refresher: </b>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.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Clarification: </b>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.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Preparation:</b> sensitivity training for executives is also a training session where employees can learn how to properly handle coworker issues and provide feedback.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Demonstrate:</b> 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.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Hopefully this blog has clarified some of the main reasons why you should consider investing in sensitivity training for your leading staff. </span></div>

<span class="s1"><span class="s1">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="p2">
Many business owners make the mistake of believing once someone has been promoted into a management position they are no longer in need of training. Not only is this belief incorrect it could also be a huge detriment to your company. </div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span class="s1"><span class="s1">
<br />
I have been in this business many years and my experience has taught me that managers benefit from training even more than developing staff. The reason for this is because managers have already invested themselves in your company and are enthusiastic about helping it grow. Unlike new hires management has typically been with your company for a longer period of time. They are also likely looking for new ways to inspire their own team of employees and will pass the knowledge that they learn from their training on.</span></span></span></div>
<span class="s1"><span class="s1">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span class="s1"><span class="s1">For these reasons obtaining management training for your managers is a worthwhile investment. When you choose the right training curriculum for your team you can maximize results and enhance the value of your managing employee. </span></span></span><br />

I am writing today because I want to talk about something that we all experience that isn't very pleasant. That is, the disgruntled customer. When dealing with an angry or upset customer it is hard to know what to do no matter who you are. Yes - even for experienced managers angry customers are tricky. However, if you follow the expert advice laid out in our <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/deal-angry-customers/">Proven Training Solutions Whitepaper: Dealing With Angry Customers you should have no problem. In my blog today I just want to review of few of the tips we discussed in this publication.</a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u>How to calm and cope with a difficult customer in 5 steps</u></h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"<b>De-personalize the situation. </b>Realize that, in all likelihood, the customer is not angry at you personally. Even if you did something to cause his or her anger (hopefully unintentionally), most difficult customers’ anger is not really personal in nature. They may be angry because their expectations weren’t met, because they feel they were wronged, or because of something personal and completely unrelated to you or the company you work for. Make up your mind when dealing with difficult customers that you aren’t going to take their anger personally.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>Lower your voice.</b> It can be tempting when dealing with an angry customer to raise your tone of voice to match his or hers. Not only is this highly unprofessional and a poor reflection on the company you represent, but it will only escalate the situation. When you speak softly, the irate customer will need to quiet down in order to hear the answer to his demands.<br />
<br />
<b>Empathize</b>. Even if you think the customer’s demands are crazy, chances are you have been angry yourself a time or two. When dealing with a difficult customer, you don’t have to agree with what they say to put yourself in their shoes and show some empathy for what they are feeling.<br />
<br />
Remind yourself that you represent your company. This ties in with de-personalizing the client’s anger. Remember that dealing with angry customers is important even if you aren’t able to satisfy the angry customer’s concerns. Other customers may be watching, and how you handle yourself reflects on you and the company you work for. Dealing with difficult customers appropriately goes a long way towards convincing others that you will also deal appropriately with their concerns (which hopefully will be expressed more appropriately).<br />
<br />
<b>Get help.</b> When all else fails, there’s no shame in handing off a difficult customer to someone else. Even if the person you are asking to help doesn’t have more authority, bringing a fresh face into a conflict can sometimes have a calming effect. This is especially helpful if the client is angry because of something you actually did. If you choose to do this, however, be prepared for the client to make angry comments about you which may or may not be true without defending yourself." from Proven Training Solutions: How to Deal With An Angry Customer</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Even for the most experienced staff member dealing with an upset customer can be a hefty task. At times it can be frustrating but if you follow these steps the situation should be under control in no time. Anyone who is hoping to learn how to diffuse an upset customer and repair a bad situation can learn a thing or two from this advice.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping in again, we will be back next week with some more helpful business training tips!<br />

<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px;">We are results oriented!</span></span></h3>

<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Okay, I know that many professional training experts have gone the route of being entertainers first and educators second. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Obviously, using comedy and provocative humour to get through to the audience is a valid approach if your goal is to amuse you your staff. However, if you want to get results you need to take a more result oriented approach.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br />When I train employees I prefer to maintain the professional atmosphere, I take the training process seriously because I know that the time spent training, is worth valuable money.<br /><br />I am not saying that my presentations are boring! Don't make the mistake of believing that. With Proven Training Solutions I use a very modern discussion and engagement strategy to customize the presentation and make the your staff feel included in the conversation.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Instead using doing stand up comedy act to train your staff, I encourage discussions, focusing on the real tangible issues that they are dealing with in the workplace. Then, we use techniques such as role playing, problem solving and brainstorming to develop actionable plans that will lead to monumental improvements! </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Almost instantly, your staff will feel inspired and motivated to move in a new direction and begin implementing the strategies that we discuss. </span></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">If my 25 years of experience as a corporate trainer and staff coaching expert have taught me anything it is "how to get results!". I know how to lead an in training seminar that leaves employees feeling secure in their positions, optimistic about the future and excited to execute changes! </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: "pt sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></b></span>

<span style="color: #747474; font-family: PT Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px;">How Proven Training Solutions is Different</span></span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: PT Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: PT Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">I am believer that the best training comes from an individual who is speaking from experience. My years of employment in the professional industry have given me much personal insight into the professional business world. I try to incorporate this understanding into my curriculum communicating in a relatable and personable fashion.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">One thing that makes my <a href="http://proven-training-solutions.com/about-bill-walsh/">Proven Training Solutions</a> unique is that I run a "clean" seminar. I know that many modern trainers use profanity and shock value gimmicks to capture the audience's attention. You should know this is not my style. Although, I'd like to think that I am entertaining, I keep my presentations family friendly and G rated. The reason for this is because of the sensitive subject matter that we cover. I believe that this is especially important when dealing with topics such as sexual harassment and sensitivity training. After all, what good are you doing if you are offending your audience during the informative session.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #747474; font-family: PT Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>Just because Proven Training Solutions is a clean program doesn't mean that we will not get through to your staff members! I use conversation and open discussion to get employees involved and customise the presentation to suite the most pressing areas that need to be addressed. By doing this I can assure that you will see improvements in your staff almost immediately following the training.</b></span></div>
