When an employee commits an action that requires feedback or criticism it needs to be handled in a very specific way.

Constructive feedback shows an employee that management cares about them and will invest time and effort into their careers.
2. Appreciative Inquiry: Strengthen an Organization by Creating a Positive Environment
Organizations can be thought of as a living being made up of the individuals working within it. Appreciative Inquiry has the ability to change the whole organization by changing the people. Through positive questioning employees will be directed to move in a positive direction. Recognizing the strengths and values of what works, as opposed to what's wrong will transform the individuals and in turn transform the organization.

3. Negotiation Skills: Understand The Phases Of Negotiation
Although people often think of boardrooms, suits, and million dollar deals when they hear the word negotiation, the truth is that we negotiate all the time.

5. Communication Strategies: Build Better, Stronger, and More Fulfilling Relationships
For the better part of every day, we are communicating to and with others. Whether it’s the speech you deliver in the boardroom, the level of attention you give your spouse when they are talking to you, or the look that you give to the cat, it all means something.
This course will help you understand the different methods of communication and how to make the most of each of them.

When an employee commits an action that requires feedback or criticism it needs to be handled in a very specific way.
Constructive Criticism if done correctly will provide great benefits to your organization. It provides the ability for management to nullify problematic behaviors and develop well rounded and productive employees. Constructive feedback shows an employee that management cares about them and will invest time and effort into their careers.
2. Appreciative Inquiry: Strengthen an Organization by Creating a Positive Environment
Organizations can be thought of as a living being made up of the individuals working within it. Appreciative Inquiry has the ability to change the whole organization by changing the people. Through positive questioning employees will be directed to move in a positive direction. Recognizing the strengths and values of what works, as opposed to what's wrong will transform the individuals and in turn transform the organization.

3. Negotiation Skills: Understand The Phases Of Negotiation
Although people often think of boardrooms, suits, and million dollar deals when they hear the word negotiation, the truth is that we negotiate all the time.

5. Communication Strategies: Build Better, Stronger, and More Fulfilling Relationships
For the better part of every day, we are communicating to and with others. Whether it’s the speech you deliver in the boardroom, the level of attention you give your spouse when they are talking to you, or the look that you give to the cat, it all means something.
This course will help you understand the different methods of communication and how to make the most of each of them.
6. Giving Effective Feedback: Learn How To Provide And Receive Feedback Effectively
