It’s possible for people to become used to dealing with tough topics over time. After all, the more you practice, the better you become! There are, however, situations that are easier to handle than others. Dealing with an employee who is always late can seem like a walk in the park compared to having to discuss poor personal hygiene, whether it’s someone’s body odor, their latest tattoo, or their bad breath. Discussing employee hygiene can be one of the most challenging activities a manager needs to do, but Velsoft’s Tough Topics: Talking to Employees about Personal Hygiene teaches a framework that makes it easy to deal with uncomfortable conversations.

Tough Topics: Talking to Employees about Personal Hygiene teaches students how to use their organization’s resources to help them deal with hygiene issues, and how to overcome the barriers employees put up when discussing staff hygiene. Available through Velsoft’s eLearning website, students can study at their own pace and work independently through this web-based courseware. Students learn how to encourage personal hygiene in the workplace, including managing body odor, piercings and visible tattoos in the workplace, bad hair days, poor clothing choices, and incontinence. Velsoft’s eLearning courseware is fully customizable for instructors, and can be combined with classroom-based training for instructors who want to deliver a dynamic, Blended Learning package.
