So £200 pounds for a one day course to learn how to talk to others on a job?

 

Not sure this is something a course can teach  more down to peoples personalities?

Hi Stere,

 

We’ve had a lot of requests for this sort of ‘Soft Skills’ training recently; this will be the first time we’ve run the course, so we’ll have to see what the feedback is like. But it’s always a good thing to understand things from other people’s point of view.

A lot of money if all staff members do it but could be useful for foreman owner operators etc.

nothing worse than a bad work atmosphere or crew not on the same hymn sheet..

also nowadays employers are soft targets for all manner of complaints and claims

If people don't understand you YOU JUST NEED TO SHOUT LOUDER.

In all honesty though I think this may be a helpful course. I have a good team of lads and I always make a point of going through any minor jobs and laying our roles for people in the morning. However I have worked for a handful of people where it’s just a free for all on site and no one has a clue what they are doing, jobs like this do make a day stressful and dangerous. I’ve seen near misses such as someone cutting a trunk and and it’s rolled with someone on the other side.
