WORKSHOP

Motivating Resistant Clients

Melbourne | Thursday 6 September 2018 | Starts 9.30am sharp

Target Group

This workshop suits frontline staff, especially employment consultants, team leaders and executive staff ; working in the employment services sector

About

Resistant clients require a different level of investment to get them motivated and change their mindsets. This workshop takes a close look at why clients may be resistant, reluctant or suspicious. This 1-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 & sustainable results. Focusing on client accountability, the skills learned will enable consultants to encourage clients to take personal responsibility whilst creating motivation. Instead of struggling when confronted by resistant clients, practitioners can adapt 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 intrinsic motivation within the client to change behaviour. The practitioner seeks to elicit “change talk” (participant initiating discussion about the idea of changing). A client’s readiness for change may be assessed and Motivational Interviewing provided to suit the clients stage of change. This one-day workshop has been designed to build a framework to engage and motivate resistant clients. The aim of the workshop is to provide staff with the skills to engage reluctant clients, utilising the Stages of Change Model and Motivational Interviewing skills to inspire motivation and enthusiasm.

What is being covered

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

3 PART COACHING PROGRAMME

DES 2018 Employment Consultant Induction Coaching Programme

Starts Wednesday 12 September 2018 | 2:00pm AEST

Target Group

New frontline staff

Summary

In a complicated and constantly changing sector, giving the right support to new staff is critical so they can hit the ground running and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Our DES 2018 Employment Consultant Induction series can help new staff to feel comfortable and understand the sector context and framework that they are now working with. It will help you to retain staff and avoid having to go through the costly recruitment process again. Our aim is to assist new staff to settle in quickly and become productive as soon as they can. The series will also be useful for existing staff that need a refresher or are returning to work after a long absence (such as maternity or long service leave). Our Employment Consultant Induction coaching programme has a focus on the DES 2018 core elements and the soft skills required for positive client engagement, job placement and effective post placement support. The sessions are full of observed good practices, tips and advice.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Over three on-line webinar sessions, Matt Eldridge will comprehensively introduce staff to the components and good practice soft skills that make an effective and efficient employment services sector. The webinars will take participants through a range of strategies so they can perform effectively with customers, while touching on KPI measures and compliance requirements. Our training is operational and complimentary to your internal induction programmes. Each session is expected to run for approximately an hour and a half. This live broadcast will include ample Q&A time. The model of delivery for this coaching programme requires learners to “learn by doing” - an active learning approach in which learners will be given work-based activities to be completed as part of the series. Once the series has been completed participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.

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 component to ensure we are identifying any red flags that exist within early stages of employment and act upon them accordingly. If performed correctly, PPS will be seen as a genuine value add to your employers 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 for tones and language

• Action Plans – How to record and escalate information to the appropriate person
