People who work in hospitality, tourism, and retail jobs are likely to experience stress as a result of disagreements with customers. Learning how to defuse an argument is a valuable skill, especially when it means that you can protect your short-term and long-term health. </p><p>But why do arguments happen? </p><p>Rising tensions, broken promises, and personal issues can all cause a customer to raise their voice and cause a disruption. One study from the Institute of Customer Service found that 56% of the customer-service employees surveyed experienced ‘increasing levels of hostility’ during the COVID-19 pandemic. </p><p>As we can see, arguments can happen for any number of reasons. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid conflict in customer-facing positions. The only solution is to assess the situation and react appropriately. </p><p>Further info:</p><ul><li><a href="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6203efcd8b7ad046a53f6d0c/644209c18c7627852456fca6_Defusing%20an%20Argument%20Transcript.pdf"><strong>Download the Transcript for this Episode</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6203efcd8b7ad046a53f6d0c/64419464ed87eb391ab08260__Defusing%20an%20Argument.pdf"><strong>Download the Key Points Infographic</strong></a></li></ul><p>Reading List</p><ul><li><strong>[Research] </strong><a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1134359/common-types-of-stress-in-the-uk/">Common Types of Stress in the UK</a>, Statistica</li><li><strong>[Infographic]</strong> <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/stress/effects-on-body">The Effects of Stress on Your Body</a>, Healthline</li><li><strong>[Research] </strong><a href="https://www.instituteofcustomerservice.com/employees-facing-increased-customer-hostility-as-lockdown-eases/">Employees facing increased customer hostility as lockdown eases</a>, Institute of Customer Serice</li><li><strong>[Research] </strong><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/336999655_The_power_of_nonverbal_behavior_Penalty-takers'_body_language_influences_impression_formation_and_anticipation_performance_in_goalkeepers_in_a_simulated_soccer_penalty_task">The power of nonverbal behavior: Penalty-takers’ body language influences impression formation and anticipation performance in goalkeepers in a simulated soccer penalty task</a>, Gijsbert Bijlstra, Philip Furley, Arne Nieuwenhuys</li><li><strong>[Website]</strong> <a href="https://worldofwork.io/2019/07/mehrabians-7-38-55-communication-model/">Mehrabian’s 7-38-55 Communication Model: It’s More Than Words</a>, World of Work Project</li><li><strong>[Website] </strong><a href="https://blog.mindvalley.com/mirroring-body-language/#h-what-is-mirroring">Mehrabian’s 7-38-55 Communication Model: It’s More Than Words</a>, Allan Pease, Barbara Pease, Tatiana Azman</li><li><strong>[Website]</strong> <a href="https://www.instituteofcustomerservice.com/research-insight/ukcsi/">UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI)</a>, Institute of Customer Service</li></ul><p><br></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.</p><p>You will have heard the word sustainability in many contexts, but it’s specifically corporate sustainability that we’re focusing on today. We’re looking at sustainability and its connection to companies and organisations. This track will examine what corporate sustainability is and explain why it’s so important. It’ll give you the information you need to implement sustainable practices, rules, and frameworks in your corporate environment. </p><p>Corporate sustainability concerns corporations delivering goods and services in a sustainable manner. If we dissect the phrase even further, it relates to a corporation's ability to maintain the environment around them. Some corporations take this one step further by improving the surrounding environment, but most businesses don’t run before they can walk. </p><p>It’s important to note that corporate sustainability is not only concerned with the environment.

Simply put, customer objections are any problems your customer might have with buying or using your product or service.</p><p>Customer objections are gold. As noted in a Forbes article, with 96% of dissatisfied customers not voicing their complaints, keeping your clients happy can go a long way to improving your business. Customer objections should be seen as gold; they should be viewed as positive because they allow you to present more information to the customer, which helps in customer retention and customer satisfaction. </p><p>Further info:</p><ul><li><a href="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6203efcd8b7ad046a53f6d0c/64420c8bfdee3f4d1b931efa_Handling%20Customer%20Objections%20Transcript.pdf"><strong>Download the Transcript for this Episode</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6203efcd8b7ad046a53f6d0c/6441952b857cf2f658e28510_Handling%20Customer%20Objections%20Infographic.pdf"><strong>Download the Key Points Infographic</strong></a></li></ul><p>Reading List</p><ul><li><strong>[Article]</strong> <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinessdevelopmentcouncil/2018/06/01/13-useful-tips-on-how-to-handle-customer-objections-efficiently/?sh=567c7cb7629e">13 Useful Tips On How To Handle Customer Objections Efficiently, </a>Forbes Business Development Council</li><li><strong>[Article]</strong> <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinessdevelopmentcouncil/2021/06/28/15-ways-to-handle-customer-objections/?sh=74860475c9f9">15 Ways To Handle Customer Objections,</a> Forbes Business Development Council</li><li><strong>[Article]</strong>  <a href="https://www.masterclass.com/articles/objection-handling-guide">Objection Handling Guide: 7 Tips for Objection Handling in Sales, </a>MasterClass</li><li><strong>[Article]</strong> <a href="https://www.nasp.com/blog/the-5-step-method-of-handling-objections/">The 5-Step Method of Handling Objections</a>, NASP Team</li><li><strong>[Article]</strong> <a href="https://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/bustech/Marketing/Intermediate/Old%20Files/customer_objections.htm">How to Handle a Hesitant Customer - Customer Objections, </a>University of Idaho Business Management and Technology Curriculum Guide</li><li><strong>[Article]</strong> <a href="https://successcoaching.co/blog/effectively-handling-customer-objections">Effectively handling customer objections, </a>Success Coaching</li></ul><p><br></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.</p><p>Globalisation is typically defined “as the increased flow of goods, services, capital, people, and ideas across international boundaries.” This integration of economic, social, and cultural activities has resulted in the greater interconnectedness of people, cultures, and economies worldwide. Some significant benefits are associated with globalisation, such as increased trade, greater living standards and improved technology for some.

        <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.</p><p>Many companies strive to be more environmentally and socially responsible by integrating sustainability into their strategies and operations. Effective communication of sustainability practices and goals to stakeholders is paramount. It’s crucial to inform and actively involve your stakeholders - including customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, regulators, and local communities. The effective communication of sustainability practices and goals to stakeholders helps to grow trust, enhance reputation, and create value for everyone involved, including the company itself. </p><p>Today, we will delve deeper into the well-established benefits of optimising your sustainability communications and share some tips for leaders on how best to go about this.</p><p>So, what exactly is sustainability in a business context? The UN defines sustainability as “the practice of meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Businesses must become more environmentally friendly and ethical to make their practices viable and resilient over the long term. Common sustainability practices include reducing carbon emissions, conserving resources, promoting social equity and fostering innovation. These goals are also referred to in consolidated form as an environment, social and governance (ESG) strategy, which is no longer just a “nice-to-have”.
