Examples of supporting colleagues

1. Listen –When people are in need of support, they do not need to be lectured at. They need to be listened to

2. Empathise – here is something important to bear in mind at all times – support a person with a judgement free approach.

3. Empower – I was watching a YouTube video of motivational speaker Eric Thomas, who was speaking to a group of primary school kids. 

4. Encourage – this is where the rubber meets the road! I am talking about ‘taking action’.

5 examples of how to improve knowledge

1. Consistent Training

To start with, it is preferable that all members of staff within the company or branch take the same training.

2. Allow Hands-On Experience

One of the fastest ways to improve employee knowledge is to allow employees lots of opportunities to become familiar with the products and services they will be selling.

3. Put Learning into Practise with Role Play

Use role play to encourage your employees to demonstrate their knowledge and expertise on the spot by getting other members of staff to pose as customers. 

4. Provide Incentives and Reward Progress

Training can be integrated into your company’s existing incentive program using something such as a points system to incentivise customers. 

5. Take Training Out of the Office

Give your people a change of scenery every once in a while by offering opportunities for field trips, which take training out of the usual environment.

9.

Reasons for conflict

Misunderstandings

Conflict can arise from misunderstandings about:

The nature, aims and objectives of a job

Differing expectations about how things should be done

Work conditions and wages

The different responsibilities of management and employees

Differences in values, beliefs, needs, or priorities

Poor communication

Communication relies on clear and complete messages being sent as well as being received. Problems can be reduced by paying attention to how well you send messages and how well you receive them.

Lack of planning

Lack of planning often means an organisation moves from one crisis to the next. This sense of disorganisation and lack of direction can be stressful and can create many problems including misunderstandings.

Poor staff selection

Inappropriate selection of staff can result in ill-feeling and conflict. Feelings of ill-will may be increased by dismissing staff members.
