Target Group

Front Line staff…..

Summary

Setting goals and strategies for helping job seekers develop their readiness to take up employment is what our sector is all about. In some instances the strategies will be as simple as targeted marketing of employers. However, for those job seekers who have been out of work for some time or who live in recessed labour markets, a longer term approach needs to be taken to helping those job seekers prepare for work.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT to hear about

  • the importance of always having an agenda
  • goal setting with job seekers
  • reverse career planning
  • the action planning process.

Engaging the Reluctant Participant and How To Get Them Moving

12 noon AEST (11:30am SA & NT and 10 am in WA)

Target Group

Frontline staff & Site Managers

Summary

Systematically addressing the reasons that job seekers put forward for not being gainfully employed goes hand in hand with being an Employment Consultant. But what do we do when the problem is much more complex? We need to become more curious about our participants. What are their barriers? How are these barriers affecting the job seeker’s life? How have they tried to address the barriers in the past? To be effective, we must explore, investigate, understand… engage with our participants.

Our webinar is aimed at front line staff and site managers who are experiencing this issue and would like to explore some workable options. It will discuss “reengagement” strategies that really work.

WHAT YOU will hear about

  • Identifying & addressing complex barriers
  • Understanding the reluctant participant
  • Building harmonious and sustainable relationships
  • Moving the reluctant participant towards employment (are we thinking outside of the box?)
  • Change Plan Action (what is it? how does it work?)

Summary

Hard or confrontational conversations are an inevitable part of the job of a front line employment services consultant, and are a critical moment in the relationship-building process. Getting these exchanges right is very important. Getting them wrong is unfortunately very easy.

Join Dr. Colin Harrison, as he explores the key issues underlying effective verbal communication in general, and in confrontational situations in particular.

Colin will explore

 How meaning works (you might be surprised!)
 Communicative styles and their utility
 The fight or flight response and how to manage it
 The importance of altercentrism
 Speaking with your ears (active listening strategies)

Understanding these things will position you better to deal with hard conversations in a way that allows you to remain calm and focussed. You should come away with strategies to put into place to improve your communicative behaviour, which will have a positive effect on your professional environment, your own peace of mind, and your effectiveness as a front line consultant.
