MAC rounds out 2005 schedule with
seminars, convention
Looking ahead to the latter half of the
year, the MidAtlantic Association of Cleaners will keeps its members busy, first with
several dates for a one-day seminar throughout August,
then later with its finalized plans for its CleaningExpo Live
exhibit and convention, set to take place at the end of
October.
The upcoming seminars will all
focus on a topic most plant owners and managers can relate to:
how to deal with employees with behavior problems.
The seminar, entitled
“Successful Solutions for Unacceptable Employee Behavior
— Effective Management Techniques That Result in Positive
Performance,” will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m.
on each of its scheduled dates.
It will look at the hallmarks and
causes of bad attitudes and unacceptable behaviors in
employees, helping employers recognize symptoms of potential
serious problems and how to recognize the signs that indicate
trouble is brewing.
The program will also examine how
to manage conflict and counsel for improved performance.
Several proven techniques will be presented — all of
which are designed to achieve long-standing results in the
seemingly hopeless battle against employee performance issues.
Other points of emphasis throughout
the day will include: how to discipline in order to correct
performance problems; how to safely terminate employees when
all other attempts fail; and forging ahead and solving problems
whenever change and upheaval occurs.
Those who attend will leave with
knowledge of how to encourage a more positive working
environment, recognize when they are rewarding bad employee
behavior, know the proper verbiage that effective warnings
should contain and how to react whenever an employee challenges
authority, among other things.
The seminars will be hosted by Fred
Pryor Seminars in the following cities on these dates:
Fredericksburg, VA, August 16; Frederick, MD, August 17;
Columbia, MD, August 18; Annapolis, MD, August 19; Norfolk, VA,
August 22; Richmond, VA, August 23; McLean, VA, August 24;
Washington, DC, August 25; and Towson, MD, August 26.

or more attendees.
