Trainingen & e-learnings

For all UG staff members

Imagine you witness unacceptable behaviour, for example bullying, sexual or other harassment, insults, belittlement, or discrimination. Would you know what to do? It’s not easy to speak up against these things. Unacceptable behaviour makes the work environment socially unsafe. How can you avoid freezing, looking away, or feeling powerless? What can you do if doing nothing is not an option? How can you combat unacceptable behaviour? Follow this training session and become an active bystander within 90 minutes.

For all managers at the UG

As a manager, how do you ensure social safety in your team? How do you deal with a situation of inappropriate behaviour? What are your tasks and responsibilities? Who can you turn to for help? What about your own sense of safety, how does it affect you?

Feeling socially safe in the workplace is important for an employee and as a manager you have the responsibility to facilitate this safety. This training offers a mix of creating awareness, providing information, and practicing conversations with an actor/actress. In this way you will gain insight into what you as a manager can do to increase social safety – by reacting adequately, working preventively, and by reflecting on your own behaviour.

For all UG staff members

Do you have them too? Those colleagues who can be quite annoying. Or colleagues you don't quite dare to express yourself to? Or maybe you’ve noticed that cooperation with a certain colleague is not optimal. This training helps you deal with awkward conversations. You will learn to be assertive, give good feedback, and raise your profile. 

For all UG staff members

Giving feedback or sharing your opinion on another person's (un)desired behaviour can be incredibly difficult. After all, you don't know in advance how the other person will react. Suppose the other person blames you for what you say? Naturally, you would prefer to avoid such a confrontation. Talking to someone about an issue means being willing to allow yourself to be vulnerable. This training gives you tips and tools.

For all UG staff members

Do you remember the last time you were addressed about your behaviour? Nobody likes to get criticism or negative feedback. In this training you will discover precisely how feedback can benefit you. Once you see that, you will start asking for feedback! The result: dealing with criticism without letting it get you down.

For all UG staff members

Words are only a small part of the message. More than 70% of our communication is ‘told’ non-verbally and consists of facial expressions, posture, behaviour, and intonation. Understanding the other person is about listening well, reading body language well, and the art of summarising. That is exactly what you will practise in this online training.
