Managing People
A Northgate  Training Game

How do you deal with a disgruntled member of staff?

What if someone is not following the company dress code?

Why don't staff react reasonably to discipline?

This interactive Northgate Training activity allows teams to practise responding to 'people' issues in a risk-free environment.

How it works
Teams are faced with a number of ‘people’ situations. Each situation has five possible solutions and all teams have to do is discuss the issue and make a decision. They feed this into a single laptop or PC and receive details of the consequences of their decisions on staff morale and the outlook for their department. They have a budget to work within and bad decisions can be costly! Issues not dealt with tend to re-appear!

What it does
Managing People offers supervisors and first-time managers as well as more senior managers an opportunity to practise their people skills in a low risk environment. It shows the implications of poor people management and the benefits of taking a rational, fair and reasonable approach towards problems that arise at work – spotting issues early can avoid court cases and tribunals. Managers need to know the law, follow procedures, communicate what they are doing and nip problems in the bud.

Key Benefits

• Helps participants to handle staff rationally.
• Emphasises the importance of establishing facts.
• Discourages making assumptions.
