Bullying has a devastating impact on an organisation. To avoid lack of engagement, employee turnover and loss of reputation you need to create a mindful environment: Frequent respectful, positive and constructive feedback and meaningful ongoing conversations lead to happier people and increased engagement.
What the program can cover:
Understanding the difference between Feedback, Performance appraisal and management and Bullying
- Everyone has a right to a safe workplace (free of bullying)
- What does/does not constitute bullying? Including up-wards bullying.
- What are constructive Feedback/performance conversations
Effective & respectful giving & receiving feedback in the workplace
- Focus both on how people give feedback as well as how people receive it, as both are critical for building appropriately respectful communication in the workplace
- The differences between performance management, performance appraisal and critical developmental feedback and bullying
- A neuro-scientific look at bullying, feedback / ‘threat versus reward’ state
- A basic explanation of how your and other people’s brain works in a bullying/threat situation & constructive feedback/toward situation
- Address the previous feedback experiences of participants (successes, fears, impacts)
- Learn and practice another way of communicating when confronted or needing to have a ‘difficult’ or performance conversation with a colleague/staff
- Examine and outline how to create a positive environment for making the feedback process constructive and meaningful
- Involve the participants to learn through demonstration and role plays written for the specific context of your organisation
- Have a strong skills focus concentrating on setting expectations, choosing an appropriate setting and getting the preparation right
- Reframing conversations and feedback to more constructive language (while still being realistic and practical)
- Skills for delivering negative feedback and dealing with defensiveness
- Skills & techniques for framing and communicating for a positive outcome
Fixed and Growth Mindset (particularly referencing Carol Dweck’s research)
- How to shift own and others’ thinking from a Fixed to a Growth mindset – Shifting from a Fixed Mindset, where effort and change are seen as impossible or too hard, to a Growth Mindset where effort and feedback are seen as critical developmental tools and people are willing to embrace respectful critical feedback to grow and develop.
