Summary

Asking the right questions not only allows you to discover your clients’ needs and how you can service them, but shows professionalism and builds trust. It’s not uncommon to second guess the questions we ask, however if we use a strategic and planned approach to questioning we can create a much more valuable conversation that allows the respondent to expand, explain and add value.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • The importance of questioning to build relationships and trust
  • Words that kill a relationship
  • The tried, trusted & proven “funnelling technique”
  • 6 core needs and why they are important
  • The “Why Principle”
  • Elements of personal communication
  • Questioning for different modalities
  • Handling objections

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

Wednesday 24 June 2020

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

Target Group

All 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 YOU CAN EXPECT

• 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

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

Target Group

Summary

The webinar has been designed to support staff primarily working with job seekers over the telephone.

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.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Preparing the call ahead of time to assure the clarity of your message
  • Stress management techniques for centralised contact systems staff
  • De-escalating conversations with angry/agitated/confused job seekers
  • Techniques for sourcing the information from job seekers that providers need
  • After the horse has bolted – engaging and supporting job seekers who independently find 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.

Summary

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention in the present moment and doing it with non-judgment. Discover Mindfulness strategies that will help you be more effective in your life and at work. Learn about how you can introduce these techniques with your clients and colleagues.

Mindfulness teaches you to be aware of what mental gear you are in and gives you the skills to disengage and engage when you choose. The practice of mindfulness sharpens your focus so you can do something about your mind being constantly distracted and mentally hijacked.” (Marianne Vicelich, Author & Entrepreneur)

Target Group

Front Line staff…..

Summary

It is ideal for frontline staff who are advising clients on the application process and what they need to do to avoid being rejected by online application / recruitment databases / HR Software.


Have you and your client 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 documents based on formatting, lack of key words and other things that you may not be aware of.

The change from human eyes reviewing the initial application to 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 clients success.

It will make you look at addressing criteria and your resume templates in a whole new light.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT to hear about

  • 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. Fonts to use, and fonts not to use!
  • 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
  • Resume – the do’s and the don’ts, how to address gaps in employment history and how to adapt your resume to specific job applications.
  • The common mistakes that blocks resumes from getting through.
