Are you putting off awkward conversations with employees? Not sure how to approach a sensitive issue?
Leading employment lawyer Daniel Barnett recently posted about how disputes, grievances and even tribunals might be avoided if the right conversations are held early enough. He highlighted a poll from Vital Smarts that showed how more than 80% of workers are cowering from at least one scary conversation at work — a conversation they know they need, but are dreading. The survey also found that one in four (25%) had avoided the conversation for six months, 10% for a year and a further 10% for more than two years! Awkward conversations with employees? As an experienced HR consultant, I have managed many of these conversations over the years and can help train line managers and employees to approach difficult and challenging discussions.
