HR’s Trusted Companion – The No-FEAR Confrontation Method
Status message
A session in this conference ends more than 10 days after the conference! Some sessions may not appear properly in My Session Planner.Ever had to tell a manager that the file didn't support a termination he desperately wanted to conduct? Ever inform a senior executive of an investigative finding with which the executive strongly disagreed? Ever made a recommendation that sparked vociferous disagreement? Ever conducted an employee interview that became adversarial?
If so, it's time to learn the No-FEAR method as described here. In this session, we will apply the No-FEAR method to challenging conversations that often arise in the HR world.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
