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.
Colin holds a PhD in Neurocognitive Linguistics, and has 30 years’ experience in the domain of language and communication. He has been a tertiary educator, adult trainer and professional facilitator in Australia, the US and France, and is a Maître de Conférences with the French Éducation Nationale. He has directed academic departments, run cultural adaptation workshops for multinational companies and managed international exchange programmes. He has a particular passion for, and focus on effective interpersonal and cross-cultural communication.

Why is it important to build rapport? Because it gets the client’s subconscious mind to accept and begin to process your suggestions. By making them feel comfortable and relaxed, they are open to suggestions.
This webinar will explore how to quickly build rapport with someone.

Contact staff, reception staff and other frontline staff looking for engagement and retention advice
The webinar has been designed to support staff primarily working with job seekers over the telephone. They may be calling to gather information about job placements or to arrange case management appointments; they may be providing Post Placement Support or chasing up job seekers who have missed appointments; and of course, it is easier for a job seeker not to cooperate with your staff over the phone than it is in person.
Listen to Matt Luttrell’s upbeat and positive approach for staying on topic and getting what you require. Matt will discuss how you can de-escalate difficult conversations in real time and how to increase job seekers’ co-operation while remaining calm.
The webinar will provide attendees with practical ideas to build their confidence and skills and to improve their success rates.
Matt Luttrell has over 15 years management experience that includes 6 years managing hotels in Melbourne and Geelong and a decade in employment services. Within employment services, Matt started his journey in recruitment, ending up in senior management positions where he developed an extensive network and is well regarded for building key stakeholder relationships within the industry. Matt lists his strengths as integrity, honesty and accuracy, all of which are critical components when building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders.
