Difficult conversation
planner
Difficult conversations are easier when you prepare. This practical planner helps you clarify the issue, test your thinking, plan your approach and agree clear next steps.
Use it before conversations about performance, attendance, behaviour, conduct or other workplace concerns.
How to have a difficult conversation
Difficult conversations are part of managing people. This practical guide takes you through how to approach them calmly and constructively, from explaining the concern and listening to the employee’s perspective, through to agreeing clear next steps.
Use it alongside the Difficult Conversation Planner to prepare for the conversation itself.
New Starter Checks
Getting a new starter ready involves more than agreeing a start date. This practical 5-minute check helps you work through the essential checks every employer should consider, identify any additional requirements that may apply to the person or role and capture anything that still needs to be sorted before day one.
A simple way to make sure nothing important gets missed.
Manager's One-to-One Meeting Toolkit
Make your one-to-one meetings more focused, useful and consistent.
This practical toolkit gives managers a simple structure, ready-to-use meeting templates, thought-provoking questions and an action tracker to help turn regular conversations into meaningful conversations that support performance, development and engagement.
