Maximum Performance

Diversity, Discrimination and Dignity at Work

<p>It is essential that those charged with responsibility for credit control and debt recovery have a full appreciation of the relevant law: no-one can negotiate effectively to recover a debt if they don't understand the ultimate sanctions they can apply. This programme is designed to give them a practical, up-to-date understanding of the law as it applies to your particular organisation.</p>This course will help ensure that participants:<ul><li>Understand the relevant laws</li><li>Know how and when to invoke legal processes</li><li>Avoid legal pitfalls in debt collection negotiations</li></ul><p>Specific, practical learning points include:</p><ul><li>Definition of 'harassment'</li><li>How to set up an in-house collection identity</li><li>Whether cheques in 'full and final settlement' are binding</li><li>The best steps to trace a 'gone away'... and many, many more.</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>1 Data protection and debt recovery</h3>There are a whole range of things which can be checked on members of the public and which are not affected by the restraints of the Data Protection Act. These will be explained in simple, clear terms so that staff can use this information immediately. <h3>2 County Court suing</h3>The expert trainer will show how to sue for money owed, obtain judgment and commence enforcement action without leaving your desk. This module is aimed at showing how to make the Courts work for you instead of the other way around! <h3>3 Enforcement of judgments</h3>There are many people who have a County Court Judgment (CCJ) against their debtor but who still remain unpaid. This session explains each of the enforcement methods and how to use them to best effect. Enforcement methods covered include:<ul><li>Warrant of Execution</li><li>Using the sheriff (now known as High Court Enforcement Officers)</li><li>Attachment of earnings</li><li>Third Party Debt Orders</li><li>Charging Orders (over property and goods)</li><li>Winding-up companies and making individuals bankrupt</li></ul> <h3>4 Office of Fair Trading rules on debt recovery</h3>Surprisingly few people are aware of the Office of Fair Trading rules on debt recovery and many of those that do know think they don't apply to them - but they do. Make sure you know what you need to! <h3>5 New methods to trace elusive, absentee and 'gone away' debtors</h3>Why write the money off when you can trace the debtor and collect the money you are owed? <h3>6 Credit checking of new and existing customers</h3>It makes sense to credit check would-be, new and existing customers to evaluate the likelihood of payment delays or perhaps not being paid at all. This session shows a range of credit checking steps, many of which can be done completely free of charge, including a sample credit application<br />/ account opening form. <h3>7 Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations</h3>Do your staff understand this legislation and how to use it to make people pay quicker than ever before? The trainer shows how. <h3>8 The Enterprise Act</h3>The Enterprise Act made some startling changes to corporate and personal insolvency. What are the implications for credit control and debt recovery within your organisation?

<p>This is not a single course but a set of menu options from which you can 'pick and mix' to create a draft programme yourself, as a discussion document which we can then fine-tune with you. For a day's training course, simply consider your objectives, select six hours' worth of modules and let us do the fine-tuning so that you get the best possible training result.</p>Consider your objectives carefully for maximum benefit from the course. Is the training for new or experienced credit control staff? Are there specific issues to be addressed within your particular sector (eg, housing, education, utilities, etc)? Do your staff need to know more about the legal issues? Or would a practical demonstration of effective telephone tactics be more useful to them?<section>

Impact at an organisational level
Focus on prevention using the 3Rs Model of Dynamic Conduct Change™
How conduct drives culture
Systemic and process driven bullying
Recognising behaviours and exposure

But what are the key ideas and how can they be applied in a simple, accessible way to CBT practice? How can therapists use these ideas in practice in the real world that will help clients? And indeed, how can these concepts and practices help us a therapists? 
This webinar will review 8 key ideas from traditional and contemporary Japanese philosophy and culture and their relevance to modern CBT practice.
In this unique workshop delegates will get the opportunity to discover a set of 8 ideas along with practical techniques for helping clients take alternative perspectives on their challenges and everyday life. Designed to sit alongside rather than replace core CBT and third wave approaches, these ideas and the associated techniques give a fresh look at the ways clients can make sense of their world and their well being.
A key theme of the workshop will be the use of these 8 Japanese ideas to supporting clients at discharge to support their longer term resilience as their own therapist. 
The workshop will be supported with client sheets free of charge to help support therapists explore these ideas in therapy.
