Annual Leadership Development Training Registration

Many workplaces are reporting an increase in challenging encounters they are facing at work with employees, such as negative communication styles, disrespectful encounters with fellow workers, customers, and supervisors, and personal struggles that are impacting their work. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for these situations, this year’s training will focus on providing tools and techniques so supervisors can feel better equipped to respond and intervene. This will be achieved through education, case studies, and discussion.

The observation and intervention steps for the employee distracted by chemical abuse will meet participating state requirements for an hour of drug and alcohol supervisor training in drug testing in their drug-free workplaces.

Pre-registration is required.
