Can you identify bullying behaviors in your organization? Should your organization develop a formal strategy to combat bullying?  Join us for an interactive experience of what bullying in the workplace really is, how the mental health and productivity of an organization's employees can be affected by it, and what is the financial and legal risk to organizations that fail to deal with it.  Most importantly, gain tips for what to include in your strategy so you can effectively deal with this alarming peril as it grows nationally.

As HR professionals, we are often requested to have the conversations no one else wants to – or at the very least, coach another person on how to discuss uncomfortable topics.  At our June meeting, Allison Blankenship shows you a 4-step conversational model to not only initiate awkward conversations but how to get results as well.

You leave the meeting with:

• A proven conversational model to use up and down the corporate ladder

• Strategies to redirect behavior while positively motivating the other person
