The NLP Approach to Managing Intergenerational Conflict & Communication at Work (9 - 10 December 2024) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

OVERVIEW


Organisations invest millions of dollars in training and development because of their beliefs about generational differences. There are at least five generations now in the workplace: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. Conflict is an unavoidable byproduct in any social environment; especially when there is multigeneration with different dispositions, values, behaviors and levels of emotional intelligence. Managing a multigenerational workforce with so many different perspectives, experiences, values and goals poses a unique organizational challenge for company leaders, managers and HR professionals.


What experiences have you had conflicting with different generations?


Tension or conflict is inevitable in an intergenerational workplace. These include minor factors, such as an employee with a messy or cluttered work station, as well as major factors, such as an employee who verbally attacks another employee in an attempt to undermine their ability to work. It is a common problem experienced by many employers and employees.


Intergenerational workplace conflicts can negatively influence the workplace in many different ways. They can lead to fighting, such as verbal gossip or even physical altercations in more extreme circumstances; workplace conflicts can also cause a lowered job satisfaction and lower productivity.


Why You Should Attend?


Everyone in management must develop effective conflict management skills especially in the current multigenerational workplace. Being adaptive is the only way to keep disputes from impeding employees’ career advancement.

  6. Meta-questions (to gain even more understanding of what is happening below the surface)

OVERVIEW Have you noticed that nearly everything in life requires compromise and thus requires some degree of negotiation to get more of what you want and less of what you don’t want? Negotiation is a vital skill for professionals across every job function, whether it applies to partners, vendors, colleagues, employees, or recruits. Successful negotiation requires self-awareness, preparation, and practice. Our research team aims to produce principled and innovative leaders who improve the world . To make a difference, you must first be able to influence people. By understanding how to negotiate effectively, you can gain a competitive advantage, achieve business objectives, and effect change. In reality, NEGOTIATION occurs almost on an everyday basis and often in situation we do not even think about as a negotiation with our peer at workplace. When do you negotiate? • Negotiate on Minimising Costs • Negotiate Your Way Out of Adversity • Negotiate Solution Due to The Delays • Negotiate With Your Current and New Vendors • Negotiate With Customers That You Cannot afford to lose • Negotiate Financial Impact in multiple project management • Negotiate with your employees on employment performance and benefits • Negotiate For Better Collaboration Rather than Confrontation With Stakeholders (Internal and External Partners) Our Wise Negotiator content delivery is NOT your typical negotiation training.

OVERVIEW Protect Your Business Against Expensive Malpractices and Fraudulent Behaviour The rise in contract management and the outsourcing of goods and services has created an increase in procurement fraud, which can occur at any stage of the contracting and procurement process. Appropriate controls, fraud prevention strategies and proper tendering processes are necessary in the fight against this fraud. It is important to remember that maintenance of financial controls remains critical in this age of digitalisation. Public and private sectors must continue to comply with legal responsibilities and related guidance on financial governance. It is essential that all staff maintain financial records and decision logs – regardless of any circumstances - so that audit trails are preserved . Procurement, finance, and payroll staff – as well as those who requisition or authorise the purchase of goods, services and works should familiarise themselves with the controls set out to prevent fraud , identify key parameters for auditors in assessing the risk of sub-optimal procurement, and how they should prioritise and conduct their audits to check if these risks have materialised, including the risk of fraud and corruption. Procurement fraud can occur through departmental purchasing of goods and services, as well as through contractual arrangements with external service providers. It can occur in many different ways. Fraud within the procurement life cycle is high risk and can result in recurring losses. You may be at risk due to fraudulent activities conducted by internal staff, collusion between internal staff and external service providers or external service provider or industry collusion. This workshop offers insight into the specific risks and possible management techniques in procurement in good or tough times. This 14 hours training programme would equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to deter, prevent, and detect various devastating types of fraud. Learn how to identify procurement fraud situations, uncover rogue operatives and threats and provide a higher level of transparency and control over all elements of your purchasing requirements.
