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.

we 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)

Contact staff, reception staff and other frontline staff looking for engagement and retention advice

Summary

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. 

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

The webinar will provide attendees with practical ideas to build their confidence and skills and to improve their success rates.
