Description: Managing individuals who may be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and other
mental health concerns can be a difficult balancing act. Your role is to manage performance
and to bring out the best in your workforce, but accomplishing this often requires
you to express concern and support when employees struggle emotionally. Managers often
feel uncomfortable in this aspect of their role and may lack the important skills
of “emotional management.” This course covers ways employees may present their distress
and offers insights and strategies on forging supportive empathic alliances within
the role of manager. The session also identifies common mistakes managers make in
responding to employees in distress and explains communication skills that express
support and convey positive expectancy. Participants are also given information on
how to refer employees to the Employee Assistance Program.

Description: The prevalence and costs of incivility are on the rise in organizations. When employees
are exposed to incivility in the workplace, they experience diminished self-control,
which in turn creates increased incivility toward co-workers. Incivility does not
involve openly hostile behavior, threats or sabotage and therefore doesn’t warrant
the same legal attention or sanctions as other forms of mistreatment, such as harassment.
Incivility could be as simple as a sarcastic reply to a co-worker’s comment or a perceived
rude sentence in an email. This session will help you understand why we act less civil
today and give some suggestions for making sure you don’t exhibit behaviors that are
uncivil.
