Absence Minded: Managing Absenteeism - VIDEO/CD-ROM

Aim
To help managers tackle absenteeism within their teams, by using a structured and positive approach.

The video
Absenteeism is as common as the common cold and it costs businesses revenue every year. But when someone calls in sick, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re ill.

They could be having difficulties because of bullying or experiencing childcare problems, or they could be just having a game of golf. Even a slight change in the working environment can affect some people's motivation and lead to days off work.

This engaging and humorous new video-based program shows a manager who doesn't realize he has an absenteeism problem until it is pointed out to him. He is then persuaded to keep a video diary, so that his team can air their thoughts on the department. This helps the manager to realize that when he takes a positive approach, he can actually reduce the levels of absenteeism quite dramatically.

The program shows managers how to deal with this sensitive subject area in three simple stages.

  • Acknowledging the problem.
  • Identifying the reasons.
  • Agreeing on a solution.

    Features and applications:

  • Covers all aspects of managing absenteeism, including the return to work interview
  • Enables managers to acknowledge, prepare and implement appropriate procedures for managing absenteeism
  • Contains a series of actions that will help managers to implement an agreed solution effectively

    Aim
    To teach staff how to make a sale over the telephone by remembering a few simple steps.

In this video, a Jack-the-lad telesales executive is quick to complain about the treatment he receives from an evasive car salesman he's been trying to pin down over the telephone, but he is blind to his own errors. It isn't until a 'Twilight Zone' like dream sequence that he sees the light and discovers where he's been going wrong.

    Complaints and Quality Management Through Customer Service - VIDEO

    WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT

    Complaints and QualityAim To demonstrate the value of addressing the causes of customer complaints to improve the quality process.

    The video
    This witty program makes it painfully obvious that there is only one thing worse than a problem that leads to a dissatisfied customer and that is a problem that crops up again and again because no one has attempted to solve the underlying issue. This is not in the way the manager of a retail operation responds by conducting a witch-hunt. She comes to realize that it is better to research the problem without apportioning blame to individuals. She also learns that it's important to let the people involved find a solution and this often means getting different departments to talk to each other.

    How To Lose Customers Without Really Trying - VIDEO

    WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT

    This program clearly demonstrates that the same guidelines for keeping customers satisfied apply in different situations, from sales to service to a retail checkout or reception desk. Customers can be trying; and not all customers are pleasant. It's easy to put customers off just by being aggressive or defensive. But it is vital to treat them all as personal guests, making them welcome and indulging their whims.

    In various realistic scenarios, staff resort to attacking behavior - by being patronizing or superior - or defensive behavior, where they ignore customers altogether or fail to accept responsibility. These humorous sketches lay the foundation for customer care and provide a concrete set of behavioral rules to make customers keep coming back. They provide a memorable demonstration of the dos and don'ts of customer care, which include finding a real need behind a request, agreeing on a solution with a customer, and seeing things through to a successful conclusion. 32 minutes

    If Looks Could Kill: The Power of Behavior - VIDEO

    If Looks Could KillAim
    To ensure front-line staff learn how their behavior can be used to improve customers' attitudes, and create new sales opportunities.

    The video
    How people behave when dealing with customers or colleagues can determine the success or failure of each interaction. In this humerous detective case, careless communication had a fatal result. At the doctor's, at the shoe shop, in the post office, and at the station, a customer was driven to distraction by careless behavior. A detective must piece together a customer's movements to see how several suspects' behavior led to his demise.

    Three key pieces of evidence result from his enquiries:

  • Behavior breeds behavior
  • Behavior is a choice
  • Behavior can be used to help a transaction

    This light-hearted video raises some simple, but key issues, and expresses them in a professional, down-to-earth manner. Any staff seeing this video will learn how to deal with customers by being professional and choosing their behavior. Personal problems and prejudices should be hidden, and customers should be welcomed and put at their ease.

    The Kingdom Was Lost: When it's a team effort, we're all responsible for quality - VIDEO/DVD

    Aim
    To make everyone aware that they must all assume responsibility for accuracy and attention to detail.

    The video In The kingdom was lost, an internationally renowned architect fails to spot that the specification for a lift system lacks a crucial zero, and a prestigious project is doomed to failure. He was not the only one to blame. Everyone in the team was at fault, from the office junior, to the chief sub-contractor, they are all guilty of failing to communicate clearly and check detail. As detail after detail is overlooked, the knock-on effect proves disastrous and it is the combined errors of the team that bring about the ultimate failure.

    Your organization's projects might not be as grandiose, but they can have an equally significant impact on your business if they go wrong. The old moral tale that traces the loss of a kingdom to the loss of an insignificant horseshoe nail underscores this new cautionary tale for the modern era.

    Features and applications:

  • An insightful video that sets the scene for a whole range of training sessions
  • A realistically-portrayed sequence of events that illustrates how every member of a team counts
  • Makes people aware of how easy it is for detail to be overlooked in a pressure situation

    No Complaints? - Complaints And The Customer - VIDEO

    No ComplaintsAim
    To ensure people learn how to handle complaints and help prevent them from recurring in the future.

    The video
    No Complaints? tackles the link between customer satisfaction and quality, and provides viewers with five steps to solving the customer's problem.

    Set within a retail outlet, front-line staff are facing complaints from internal and external customers. The existing solution is a complaints form, but a member of staff soon realizes that customers need to let off steam, not fill in forms. The staff learns that they must take complaints seriously and show sympathy, since it is difficult to remain angry with someone who is sympathetic. The video shows a number of common mistakes. One staff member handles a complaint, but realizes he must ask questions if he is to be capable of solving a problem. When an accounts clerk comes up with an innovative solution for one of her supplier's payment problems, she agrees on a course of action, but fails to check that it can be carried out.

    The conclusion is that all staff, whether in the front line or not, should be aware of how to deal with the emotions and practicalities of dealing with complaints.

    Performance Matters: The Importance of Praise

    Aim
    To ensure that managers understand how to use praise to make their staff realize that their efforts are appreciated

    The video
    This new program makes the point that giving praise where it's due is a management tool that's powerful, cheap and easy to use. It can bring amazing results in terms of increasing the quality and quantity of the output of the people who work for them, providing it is correctly applied. The employee's attitude changes with renewed enthusiasm when the manager shows interest and appreciation in a job well done. Among the rules learned are that it's important to let people know why they are being praised, make sure that the effect isn't ruined by a kick-in-the-tail remark, and to pass on praise from customers or superiors.

    Performance Matters: The Importance of Praise

    Features and applications:

  • Addresses the reasons why managers don’t praise
  • Shows the value of adding praise to the corporate culture
  • Provides six easily-remembered rules for praising staff correctly
  • Proves that praising is not a natural gift but a learnable skill

    Performance Matters: The Need For Constructive Criticism

    Aim
    To enable managers to employ criticism as a means of preventing the recurrence of mistakes and improving staff performance.

    The video
    The video is set in the offices of a district council, where an oversight in preparing for a meeting leads to the rejection of a sensitive planning application. Rather than establishing what had happened and taking action to put it right, the officer makes a series of clumsy attempts to discipline the assistant - including telling him off in front of junior colleagues, failing to agree what had gone wrong and criticizing them personally. Learning how to handle the situation correctly means understanding how the problem arose, and the assistant is able to suggest a means of avoiding such mistakes in the future.

    Performance Matters: The Need of Constructive Criticism

    Features and applications:

  • Helps managers understand that criticism is an essential part of a manager's responsibilities
  • Shows why people should only be criticized for what they've done, not what they are

    Performance Review - Series

    Our new training program, Performance review, aims to change the way every person in your organization approaches appraisals. We want to encourage managers and appraisees to think about reviews in a new way, so they stop dreading them and start seeing them in a more positive light.

    There are several aspects of the program that help us achieve this:

  • We deliver the program in two parts – one for the manager and one for the appraisee – to demonstrate the importance both parties play in the process
  • we reinforce the basics using our highly effective ‘wrong way, right way’ approach
  • we use memorable characters to communicate different types of behaviour and review techniques that help all parties get the most from reviews.

    Performance Review - Part One: Every Manager's Nightmare

    Aim
    Demonstrates the techniques for a successful performance appraisal interview for all levels of managers.

    Video
    It's not surprising that so many managers dread giving performance reviews. They know the importance of employee performance reviews, but this rarely makes having to do them any less painful. In fact, because they often end up being emotionally charged, they are seen more as 'excruciating' than 'crucial'. To overcome this, in Part 1 we identify six very different characters that managers can relate to: Defensive Dennis, Weepy Wendy, Silent Steve, Non-stick Nigel, Bolshy Becky and Bored Betty. Through these characters we are able to demonstrate key review techniques managers can develop. By making them less confrontational and more productive, managers will be able to fearlessly deal with all performance reviews.

    The Nightmares:

  • Silent Steve – At least you can get the interview over with quickly. But, it’s very likely you’re missing something important. So how do you get him talking?
  • Non-stick Nigel – Nothing is ever non-stick Nigel’s fault. It was bad luck. Or the system. Or other people’s mistakes. Even so, there are ways to dealing with him.
  • Bored Betty - Bored Betty. But why is she so bored? Could it be because you’ve let the paperwork take over and gone into autopilot? If so, it’s not surprising if she goes on autopilot too.
  • Defensive Dennis – It’s hard to help Defensive Dennis improve because he won’t admit there’s any room for improvement. But, it can be done.
  • Weepy Wendy – Tears never help an interview. But with Weepy Wendy you have to be prepared for them – and not let them throw you off course.
  • Bolshie Becky – Bolshy Becky is looking for a fight – but if you take her on you’ve lost. You can only win by not fighting.

    Performance Review - Part Two: Every Appraisee's Dream

    Aim
    Presents a simple three part structure to help the appraisee be prepared in advance for a successful performance appraisal review

    Video
    From the appraisee's point of view, the performance review often feels like a waste of time. But this program shows just how well they can go when handled properly by both parties. The appraisee may feel there's nothing they can do or say to affect the outcome. In fact, there are positive steps that can be taken to improve their review, and the secret is 'be prepared'. In Part 2, we reveal a simple three-part formula to help the appraisee with their thinking process: (a) the past - what went right last year and what didn't, (b) the present - any current issues about the job, and (c) the future - where the appraisee wants to go and how to get there. Part 2 also shows managers and appraisees what reviews can achieve when everything goes right.

    Talking to the Team - VIDEO

    WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT

    A team briefing is a vital event in every organization; it tells people what is happening and why. Team leaders; therefore, need to know how to talk to the team in order to exercise effective leadership. After all, people's attitudes are heavily influenced by their immediate boss who needs to secure the team's understanding, co-operation and support.

    Using three core lessons and a variety of locations, this program demonstrates that the lessons apply to all types of business. The video makes it clear that preparation is a major component in running a successful meeting. Giving advance notice, forestalling interruptions, and preparing notes, are all examples. Preparation becomes redundant if the host is unable to control the meeting by keeping to the point, to anticipate questions, or to support management decisions.

    Features and applications:

  • Engaging plot with wide-ranging realistic scenarios
  • Shows how meetings become a valuable use of time, are productive, and achieve results
  • Suitable for managers, as well as group members, who will understand objectives and contribute to fulfilling them

    Think Or Sink - VIDEO

    WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT

    In Think Or Sink, John Cleese firmly believes in making team decisions. Unfortunately, his team consists of me, myself and I. Cleese plays an egotistical General Manager, who boldly declares: “I’m the one the board asked for a proposal, so I'm the one who's going to propose it. You can forget all this stuff about joint solutions”. But instead of all the glory, Cleese winds up with all the blame, and he loses his job.

    After reviewing his past performance, Cleese learns how to create competition between ideas, not people. He also knows that doubts must be voiced to avert later problems. More importantly, he learns that good alternatives are crucial in successful team decision making. 26 minutes.

    The Unorganized Sales Person - VIDEO

    WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT

    This two-part program will help demonstrate how business is conducted in a professional and profitable manner. In Part 1, Valuing You Customers, a "Flash Harry" salesperson takes every opportunity to show off his expertise. He's all action - rushing from call to call, trying to satisfy customers' every whim. But this approach soon descends into chaos and inevitably he starts to miss appointments. In contrast, his colleague takes time to research customers and targets those that offer the greatest opportunity. Her approach means fewer calls, even fewer individual sales, but more long-term profit for her organization. 22 minutes.

    In Part 2, Valuing Yourself, "Flash Harry" learns that by valuing himself and his time he will in turn be valued by customers as someone who can offer them specialist knowledge. He also realized that he has to manage his sales meetings and agendas. The truth eventually dawns that being trustworthy is more important than making a one-off sale. 24 minutes.

    You'll Soon Get The Hang Of It: The Techniques of One-to-One Training - Video

    Aim
    Guidelines for coaching employees to do their job.

    The video
    You'll Soon Get The Hang Of It is the definitive program on the techniques of one-to-one training. Hugh Laurie looks at both the theory and practice of training in a humorous and memorable fashion. This program explains how important it is for managers and team leaders to have the skills to teach people in their care. It introduces a variety of scenarios: a warehouse, an office, a hotel and even a dentist's office to demonstrate the psychology of why people want to learn and then how to help them. The lessons show how to put the training into context, divide the process into segments, and ensure the trainee practices at every step. This must be followed by praise and encouragement, and a review at every stage of progress.

    As Hugh Laurie points out: "It's human nature to want to learn; the desire is already there. A trainer's job is to give it a nudge every now and then."

    You'll Soon Get The Hang Of It: The Techniques of One-to-One Training

    Features and applications:

  • Introduces teaching skills to people with staff responsibilities
  • Well-structured lessons with visual examples
