NESA Webinar

Reverse Marketing with Intent

Tuesday 16 July 2019

2pm AEST (1:30pm SA & NT and 12 noon in WA)

Target Group

All frontline staff

Summary

In this webinar Matt Luttrell will discuss reverse marketing strategies to place priority jobactive and DES job seekers into the hidden job market. The focus is on making contact with specific employers. It will explore getting the job seeker and employment services practitioners ready to make a reverse marketing call, and how to manage the call including handling objections.

The focus of this webinar is not on vacancy development for job matching. So what can you expect? It will cover becoming “one” with the employer so that we understand the fit with the employee and the new opportunity that presents. Reverse marketing isn’t all about providers getting a placement, it’s much bigger than that! The placement is the result – the real key is understanding what the employer is looking for and matching a strong candidate to an opportunity.

WHAT is being covered

  • Preparation is key
  • Be in a positive mindset
  • What approaches have the best results
  • What to look for, what to listen for
  • What is the best way to respond to objections

Target Group

Summary

One of the key traits of emotionally intelligent people is that they are able to keep their head when all around seems in chaos. Their ability to remain calm under pressure and to model resilience has a significant flow-on effect on their peers and the rest of the organisation.

Staying Cool Under Pressure is an exploration into the world of understanding stress and regulating emotions. It’s the nearest we’ll get to having a user manual for the brain and the strategies that Clare shares are guaranteed to work… if implemented.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Identifying the key parts of the brain responsible for staying calm and for ‘losing it’
  • Exploring 4 core pressure sources in the workplace
  • Building self-awareness around your individual pressure points
  • Identifying your sweet spot for positive stress and performance
  • Learning 8 strategies for staying cool under pressure, all of which are immediately implementable

Post Placement Support, Is it just a contact call or are we gathering real intelligence?

Tuesday 23 July 2019

2pm AEST (1:30pm SA & NT and 12 noon in WA)

Target Group

All 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 step to ensure we are identifying any red flags that exist in the early stages of employment and acting upon them accordingly. If performed correctly, PPS will be seen as a genuine value-add to your employer’s customer service experience and will provide a support mechanism for the new employee as they enter into a new environment.

WHAT is 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 to words and intonation
  • Action Plans – How to record and escalate information to the appropriate person

Motivating Resistant Clients

NESA Melbourne office

Friday 26 July 2019

Tea & Coffee at 9am, for a 9:30am sharp commencement. Finishes around 4:30pm

Target Group

All staff 

Summary

Resistant clients require a different level of investment to get them motivated and change their mindsets. Specifically designed for the employment services sector, this workshop takes a close look at why clients may be resistant, reluctant or suspicious.

This one-day workshop provides employment consultants and practitioners with the skills to positively engage mandated clients and develop workable relationships. It will enable practitioners to confidently deliver effective services and achieve outstanding and sustainable results. Focusing on client accountability, the skills learnt will enable consultants to encourage clients to take personal responsibility whilst creating motivation. Instead of struggling when confronted by resistant clients, practitioners can adopt a more constructive method to achieving outcomes.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a communication method intended to move a person toward change, focusing on exploring and resolving ambivalence as a key to eliciting that change. MI facilitates and engages the client’s own personal motivations as a means to change their behaviour. The practitioner seeks to elicit “change talk” (participant-initiated discussion about the idea of changing), utilising the Stages of Change Model. A client’s readiness for change may be assessed and Motivational Interviewing can be provided to suit the client’s stage of change.

This workshop allows participants to:

  • Identify resistant clients
  • Understand the reasons for reluctance, including complex barriers
  • Learn the importance of deliberate and collaborative conversations about change using the Stages of Change model.
  • Learn Motivational Interviewing techniques for employment services
  • Learn effective ways to resolve discrepancy and ambivalence
  • Acquire skills in effective goal setting and change measurement
  • Learn skills to apply a solution-focused problem solving approach
