Track A: Employee Management and Development. Craig Freshley, President of Good Group Decisions, believes that inclusive and collaborative decision-making empowers employees, increases creativity and productivity, and promotes loyalty to the organization. Through imaginative exercises, participants will gain an understanding of collaborative and inclusive decision-making and when to use the process and when not to. You will learn specific techniques that can improve communication, develop leadership, and prevent workplace conflict. Walk away with practical tips to apply immediately; tips to handle specific situations or generally improve employee morale and productivity. Craig's work is based on the belief that "We all have a piece of the truth and we make our best decisions when we put our pieces together."
