What the course covers
Gossip in the workplace is a sensitive subject. Everyone joins in from time to time and often it is harmless. But when conversations about colleagues become consistently negative, problems arise. People feel excluded, the atmosphere deteriorates and the work suffers. As a manager, HR officer or confidential adviser you want to spot this and address it before it gets out of hand. In this course you learn how to do so in a respectful and effective way.

How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
