ABOUT THE EVENT

Webinar Background :

No matter how good a manager you are, or how carefully you adhere to guidelines and rules, you will most likely still experience insubordination from time to time.  Employees who refuse to carry out orders will have a negative effect on the workplace and ultimately cost the business time and money. Instances of insubordination can cause conflicts in your workplace. This concept refers to any employee who disrespects or intentionally disobeys authority figures and this type of behavior may lead to consequences to the employee.  Understanding what constitutes insubordination and how to address this issue can help managers maintain a positive, productive work environment.

In this presentation, we identify best strategies for identifying, preventing, and dealing with insubordination, thus limiting the organization’s liability.

Insubordination often results in conflicts, increased stress levels, and decreased job satisfaction for other team members as well. This, in turn, leads to lower motivation and potentially higher turnover rates, impacting both the team’s performance and the company’s resources. Addressing insubordination promptly reinforces a culture of mutual respect and accountability, ensuring that employees understand and adhere to established workplace expectations. Managers who handle insubordination professionally help maintain a healthy work atmosphere, where employees feel secure, valued, and motivated to contribute positively to the team. In the long run, this proactive approach protects the business’s productivity, reputation, and employee satisfaction.
