Generic business development workshops available to purchase for you own internal use.

1. Business Success Program
The key to future success for business in Vietnam is to prepare for International standards coming in
with every new international company. Current success does not mean future success. Those that have
vision and foresight will begin to develop their business and employees to these new standards NOW
and at the same time incorporate local knowledge and expertise.
If you don’t have international standard level trainers within your organisation, the next best thing is to
acquire international standard training programs. Those that wait or don’t make smart decisions NOW
will suffer a slow and steady decline in business as the entire Vietnamese market changes in line with
global development.
The program offered spans all areas of business such as human resource development, sales,
management and administration. It is applicable to any business and can be tailored to the unique
aspects and functions of the organisation – A complete Business Program for staff and management.

giving us an opportunity to do so."
During this workshop we look at the all different types of customer service. It is a misunderstanding that

Effectively supervising a team can be a challenging role which can vary tremendously from company to
company. In many businesses, the supervisor’s role is to oversee work the company produces, make
sure new employees are trained to proficiently carry out their work, give performance reviews, and
create and implement work schedules. In some companies the supervisor is required to do some of the
work, or they may merely implement management’s wishes and work on employee training and
production, acting as a go-between for employees and managers, and occasionally assist with work as
needed.
In larger companies, supervisors can have numerous tasks. They may need to address employee
problems directly, taking disciplinary action when necessary. They implement may assist with employee
recommendations, and naturally they give orders as requested by heads or managers of companies.

13. Leadership & Influence
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”.
Are leaders born or made? Or are they people who rise to an occasion or situation?
Leadership potential exists within each of us. That potential can be triggered by outside events, or it can
be learned by exploring ourselves from within. This workshop takes the latter approach. Once you learn
the techniques of true leadership, you will be able to build the confidence it takes to take the lead. The
more experience you have acting as a genuine leader, the easier it will be for you. It is never easy to take
the lead, as you will need to make decisions and face challenges, but it can become natural and
rewarding.

productive. The happier an employee is, the better the results they will deliver.
The goal of every employer is to make sure that they have a workforce who will do their best, but this
does not simply mean making the job easy for their employees. In fact, part of the problem of
motivation is that where the job is too easy, employees become complacent.
This workshop will help supervisors and managers in delivering the right balance between a confident,
motivated workforce and a workforce which is driven to attain goals. It is designed specifically to help
busy managers and supervisors understand what employees need to ensure that they have the correct

who is going to take the rubbish out. Not all our negations are trivial however, discussions with your

29. Health & Safety in the
Workplace
Why Have a Workplace Health & Safety Program?
Taking risks is part of running a business, particularly for small business owners. You take risks in product
development, marketing, and advertising in order to stay competitive. But there are some risks that
should never be taken. One of these is risking the health and safety of those who work for you.
Preventing Losses
If you want to reduce the costs and risks associated with workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, you
should place as much emphasis on health and safety issues as other management issues such as
production, sales, and quality control.
Establishing a health and safety management plan helps you do this, because in developing the plan you
identify what has to be done to promote the health and safety of your workers. In the process, you
outline policies and procedures to achieve your health and safety goals.
What is a health and safety Program?
There are seven essential elements to a successful health and safety management plan:
1. Management commitment
2. Labour and management accountability
3. Employee involvement
4. Hazard identification and control
5. Incident/accident investigation
6. Worker Training
7. Periodic plan evaluation
Your health and safety management plan should be in writing and include policies and procedures.
However, an effective health and safety management plan is more than a written plan that sits on a
shelf. It should be incorporated into every aspect of the way business is done. In effect, the only way to
work is safely.
