Course Content
1. Identifying the Causes of Negativity
Understanding the root causes of negativity is essential to address and mitigate its impact in the workplace. This involves recognizing the factors that contribute to negative attitudes and emotions among employees.
2. Distinguishing ‘Situational’ and ‘Habitual’ Negativity
It’s important to differentiate between negativity that arises due to specific situations or events (situational) and negativity that has become a regular pattern of behavior (habitual). Each may require distinct approaches for management.
3. Assessing the Impact of Negativity on Behaviour
Negativity can significantly influence employee behavior, affecting productivity, teamwork, and overall workplace atmosphere. It’s crucial to explore how negative attitudes manifest in actions and interactions.
4. Managing Workplace Behaviour
Effectively managing behavior in the workplace involves implementing strategies to promote positive interactions and address negative behavior. This may include conflict resolution techniques, leadership training, and creating a supportive work environment.
5. Revitalizing Employee Motivation
Re-energizing your workforce requires strategies to boost motivation. This can be achieved through setting clear goals, recognizing achievements, offering incentives, and providing opportunities for growth and development.
6. Developing Personal Implementation Plans
Personal Implementation Plans help individuals take what they’ve learned and apply it in their daily work. These plans should include specific actions, timelines, and measurable objectives to address negativity and enhance overall workplace dynamics.

The purpose of your training is learning new skills and/or changing behaviour. We can help you measure this!
Post-course, to evaluate how successfully the attendees are doing this, delegates can attend a Workplace Implementation session during the skills transfer period. This additional session lasts for 2.5 hours.
During the Workplace Implementation session the individuals will either on a 1-2-1 basis or as a group discuss the challenges and successes they have experienced during their skills transfer period.
This will include what they are doing differently as a direct result of the training and how this has positively impacted the organisation.
This is an excellent way to encourage the learning, support the skills transfer into the workplace and act as a measure to evaluate the training.
We compile this information into a report so that you have evidence of your return on investment.
