Early Intervention Conversations

This program utilises our Early Intervention Conversations Framework © and provides leaders with improved confidence to proactively engage in conversations involving early-stage red zone behaviours.

IMPACT

When leaders’ actions don’t align with their words, trust declines. It’s that simple.

When employees witness a gap between stated organisational values and the behaviours leaders actually tolerate or ignore, trust in both leaders and the organisation erodes rapidly.

This workshop equips leaders with practical strategies to address early-stage problematic behaviours through timely, values-aligned conversations. By intervening early and consistently, leaders demonstrate integrity—aligning their walk with their talk—which builds trust and credibility.

Drawing on best-practice employee relations processes and foundational principles of organisational neuroscience, this workshop gives your leaders the confidence and capability to intervene early, creating safer, more engaging workplaces where standards are upheld consistently.
