New Micro-Learning! A mentor is one of any organization’s greatest resources. They fulfill that crucial role of helping newer team members learn about their new job – and their new organization.

As part of this, it’s important to ask your mentee to discuss his or her strengths and weaknesses both interpersonal and job-related skills.
TrainingBriefs® Misusing Confidential Information
Updated! A code of ethics establishes parameters for professional conduct. It involves the principles and moral values of an organization.

TrainingBriefs® Motivating Employees to Care
New Micro-Learning! When an employee doesn’t seem to care about their job, it’s easy to make assumptions about why he or she might be acting that way. The problem is, you could be way off base and your actions could end up making the problem worse!

TrainingBriefs® Protecting Confidentiality in an Investigation
New Micro-Learning! Harassment, discrimination and other inappropriate behaviors are serious issues that must be dealt with. Accusations, right or wrong, can also have a devastating effect on a person's career, reputation in their community and relationships with other co-workers - and because of that, they can lead to lawsuits. It's up to you as the manager to get the facts, and it's also up to you to make sure those facts remain as confidential as possible.
TrainingBriefs® Providing Accurate Information
Updated! In the absence of accurate, reliable, and timely information, people and organizations will make bad decisions; they will be unable to help or persuade others to make better decisions. One problem all too often faced in the workplace is when someone is asked or told to compromise their ethical code. Accurate information and maintaining our ethical code are one of many ethical issues that come up in the workplace.

This course is designed to give you the opportunity to step back and take a look at how you might be interacting with your direct reports.
TrainingBriefs® Redirection
Discipline should be a last resort. It’s negative and often leads to separation. Redirecting behavior is positive, forward-thinking, and often leads to success. Before you give a reprimand—think! In many cases an employee needs to be redirected rather than reprimanded.
TrainingBriefs® Responding and Resolving
Recognizing retaliation is an important step in helping to maintain a culture of respect, trust and compliance. But it's only the first step.

TrainingBriefs® Responding to Change with Integrity
New Micro-Learning! Appreciating change can be very complex, though. And we must acknowledge that how we respond to change has an impact on how things will unfold for us, and those around us.

TrainingBriefs® Responding to Inappropriate Humor
New Micro-Learning! When humor is believed to be harassing or discriminating, the sooner something is done to intervene the less likely it will seriously damage the company or someone’s career and reputation. We all have a responsibility to make the workplace a positive environment for everyone.
TrainingBriefs® Retaliation: Protected Activities
New Micro-Learning! When an employee makes a complaint against us, our first reaction is often to get mad and defensive— especially when they didn't come to us first. That's only natural. We're human. But, as managers, we have to control our emotions, treat the employee professionally and with respect. And we have to ensure that our actions don't lead to claims of retaliation.
TrainingBriefs® Selecting Diverse Candidates
New Micro-Learning! Do you find yourself cutting corners when it comes to selecting team members?

TrainingBriefs® Selling with Integrity
Updated! One definition of being ethical is “conforming to professional standards of conduct.” Herein lies both a problem and an opportunity for those of us in the world of sales. The problem lies in the fact that many people do not think of sales as a profession. Negative stereotypes have caused them to avoid or look down at a salesperson with disdain.
TrainingBriefs® Serving the Customer
New Micro-Learning! Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. You can offer promotions and slash prices to bring in as many new customers as you want, but unless you can get some of those customers to come back, your business won't be profitable for long.

Hitting on all cylinders... you've heard that term before. But, even the most talented teams don’t start out as high performing.
