Talking to Employees about Personal Hygiene

In this course, we’ve created a framework for having those tough conversations, as well as some guidelines for customizing that framework for your organization. Then, we’ll look at some common tough conversations that present themselves, including body odor, flatulence, poor clothing or hair decisions, and bad breath. At the end of the workshop participants will have a chance to role play a tough situation, and they’ll walk away well prepared for any kind of challenging conversation.
