The Organisational

Challenge

 

A need to reduce cost by 30% through efficiencies including encouraging staff take up of voluntary redundancy and early retirement and changing working practices. The challenge was to retain and motivate high performing staff while encouraging take up of leaving packages

The brief

Equip managers to hold sensitive, formal and informal conversations with their teams

What we did

Topics included giving bad news, helping staff deal with uncertainty, giving constructive feedback and how to manage their own emotional reaction

The impact

Enthusiastic and positive reviews from leaders. They reported an immediate increase in their levels of confidence and ability to manage the outcomes they wanted
