Summary
When working with people from different walks of life on a daily basis, and often requesting them to undertake activities they may not be enthusiastic about, some level of challenging behaviour is inevitable. This is a two session online coaching program designed to build skills in dealing effectively with challenging behaviour from an employment services perspective.
The coaching program aims to provide you with all the skills to help you understand and deal with the challenges of a modern-day client-centred employment service. Participants will acquire knowledge on how to enhance their communication techniques and to avoid conflict in the workplace.

The webinar will cover the following topics
- the importance of always having an agenda
- goal setting with job seekers

Assertiveness for Productive Engagement
Tuesday 5 February 2019 | 3pm AEDT (2:30pm in SA, 2pm in QLD, 1:30pm in NT and 12 noon in WA)
Target Group
All Frontline staff
Summary
How to encourage job seeker compliance, without resorting to demerits ?
The best outcomes for job seekers result from a strong connection with their employment consultant: from mutual respect, honesty and trust. But such relationships can be difficult to establish, unless the consultant knows how to use language to be assertive, rather than aggressive, and supportive rather than passive.
Assertiveness is a skill that comes naturally to only a few people: most of us have to learn it.
Join Dr. Colin Harrison as he explores the high ground between passivity and aggression, and how to get there through attention to crucial communication skills.

Post Placement Support webinar: Is it just a contact call or are we gathering real intelligence ?
Thursday 7 February 2019

Target Group
Frontline staff
Summary
Post Placement Support (PPS) is a great way of gathering intelligence that can drive a strong plan to ensure job seekers maximise their sustainable employment opportunity. This task should not be a “tick a box” exercise, it is a critical component to ensure we are identifying any red flags that exist within early stages of employment and act upon them accordingly. If performed correctly, PPS will be seen as a genuine value add to your employers customer service experience and will provide a support mechanism for the new employee as they enter into a new environment.
What’s being covered
- Be Prepared – Go in with a plan that is tailored to the employee
- Transparency and Clarity – Is the Employer / Employee clear on the benefits of spending the time to answer these questions?
- Communication – How to identify concerns by listening for tones and language
- Action Plans – How to record and escalate information to the appropriate person

Understand How Online Applications and Recruitment Databases are Screening OUT your Job Seekers' Resumes
Wednesday 13 February 2019 | 3pm AEDT (2:30pm in SA, 2pm in QLD, 1:30pm in NT and 12 noon in WA)
Target Group
Frontline staff
Summary
Have you ever pulled together a great job application, flicked it off, waited, waited and waited, and received no reply ? These days many organisations use HR Software to screen out your documents based on formatting, lack of key words and other things that you may not be aware of.
This topic is particularly relevant to those consultants who are assisting job seekers with online applications. The change from human eyes reviewing the initial application and computer software analysing the application has changed the way successful applications are formatted. This webinar will provide an understanding of those changes and how they are impacting on your job seekers success. It will make you look at your resume templates in a whole new light.
Please note that the content is always being updated and attendees will receive a list of important links.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
- An understanding of how online applications are processed by screening software – essential to know so your clients aren’t screened out on the first pass
- The importance of key words in your job seeker’s application – and matching these to the advertisement or industry that they are applying for
- Formatting and making things pretty – why this doesn’t work with online applications
- Keeping it simple – how irrelevant or complex information on your online resume or application can be hurting your client’s chances of ending up on the ‘yes’ list
