Professional Communication with Internal & External Stakeholders

Duration

1 day

Course Overview


Working professionally with other agencies and stakeholders is a key expectation of staff. This day is designed to give a framework for the standards around communicating verbally and in writing with others. It considers: the importance of providing good customer service to all whom staff members come into contact with; how staff can communicate and present themselves professionally; and, how to manage personal and professional frustrations, so that communication is always respectful.

This course will also consider how complaints can arise, what constitutes bullying, harassment and discrimination and the legal framework to address such concerns.

Learning Outcomes

  • What can get in the way of this and how can these frustrations be overcome?
  • What is stress and what happens when we get stressed?
  • How can delegates look after themselves and what support is available at work?
  • What happens if delegates allow personal frustrations to 'leak out' at work - what is bullying, harassment and discrimination and what is the legal position with regard to these?
  • Who are your customers?
  • Why is customer service so important to the organisation?
  • What is meant by attitude?
  • What are organisations values and how to these link to the attitude required of staff
  • How do we communicate our attitude at work? What would be examples of 'good' and 'poor' attitude?
