Handling complaints
Everyone, one day, will have a complaint made to them. It may be a small one or something of a serious nature. When this happens, it can be very challenging to know what steps to take and how to resolve the complaint. How you react at that time will determine a good or a poor outcome.
In this webinar Trevor will discuss:
- Your first reaction when a complaint is received
- What people want when they complain
- A simple step-by-step complaint process
- The importance of establishing ‘what’ the client wants
- Why changing perspective can make all the difference
- The ‘Mum Test’
- An example of a poor process and the ramifications
- Communicating to get your message through
The content of this webinar is useful for anyone practising as a dispute resolver, whether facilitative or determinative.
