AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Determine who is the problem: accountholder, visitor, or a staff member
  • Describe the causative factors of the person’s hostility
  • Employ best practices during a confrontation

  • Design your course of action to resolve a situation

WEBINAR DETAILS

Handling difficult people is one of the hardest situations staff has to manage on a regular basis. This program will review problems frontline staff and management could face during interactions with accountholders and explain ways to cope when things get hostile. People who become upset need to be defused and doing so is not always easy. The most well-meaning intentions could escalate the problem. Join us to learn more about causative factors, warning signs, and the proper use of cognitive listening.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session will benefit risk management staff, security officers, branch managers, frontline staff, and anyone who handles upset accountholders. (This is not a program for collection officers.)
