New Plymouth: Giving difficult feedback

Date, time and location:
📅 Tuesday, 25 November | 7:15-8:45am
📍Hospitality Suite 2, Stadium Taranaki, Maratahu Street, Westown, New Plymouth
What to expect
Giving clear, constructive feedback is one of the most important parts of being a boss – and it’s also one of the toughest. It's easy to let concerns about “rocking the boat”, worrying about hurt feelings, and not knowing “how to do it” get in the way.
Whether you’re helping someone grow, managing poor performance, or addressing inappropriate behaviour, knowing how to give difficult feedback with confidence and clarity makes all the difference.
Join MyHR for an engaging and practical breakfast session, led by HR guru Sylvie Thrush Marsh, where we’ll cover the basics and go over some useful strategies for giving uncomfortable feedback at work.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
-
How to recognise the right opportunities to give feedback
-
How to prepare yourself (and your mindset) before the conversation
-
Different strategies for delivering difficult feedback
-
Techniques for managing heightened emotions and tricky reactions in the moment
-
How to follow up to ensure lasting, positive outcomes

Wellington workshop: Restructuring and Redundancies

Date, time and location:
📅 Wednesday, 26 November | 7:15-8:45am
📍Kent Room, Urban Hub, 2/318 Lambton Quay, Wellington Central, Wellington
What to expect
Small businesses everywhere are feeling the squeeze right now – reduced government spending, an economic recession, and record levels of emigration are putting the pressure on owners and managers to do more with less.
Despite your best efforts, this may require making changes to your staffing – shuffling tasks around, reducing people’s hours, changing people’s start and finish times, and potentially making one (or more) people redundant.
If you’re considering restructuring or rightsizing your business, join MyHR for an engaging and practical breakfast session, led by HR expert Sylvie Thrush Marsh, where we’ll go over the practical steps required to make changes to your team’s employment, including potential redundancies.
What you’ll learn
-
How to prepare a watertight commercial case for your proposed changes
-
The correct legal process to follow when proposing a restructure
-
How to communicate clearly and consistently with those affected
-
‘Survivor management’ - if your business goes down the route of redundancies
-
Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
