WHEN THINGS GET CHILLY

WITH autumn approaching we will soon say goodbye to hot summer days and be looking in the back of the cupboard for a coat and scarf. As fashionable as scarves may be, it should only be the weather that calls for this dress wear and not the temperature of your workplace. When a sudden, unexpected (metaphorically speaking) arctic blast rips though your work environment what do you do? At Focus HR, we believe what you need to do is get really good at having powerful, robust discussions. So often people shy away from conflict as it is viewed as negative. I challenge all workplaces to look at conflict, when handled in the right way, as a highly effective way to attain the exceptional. For practical, down-to-earth advice on creating powerful culture, managing workplace behaviours and conflict mediation, phone us on 4765 3456, email to info@focushr.com.au or call in to the office at 277 Hume St.
