Enforcing parking regulations can often put front-line staff and managers into conflict with customers. These minor situations can escalate into larger conflicts endangering employees – and customers, lowering employee morale, and damaging a parking operation’s reputation.
Successfully managing these types of situations is a key skill-set for parking operations team members. What to say – and how to say it – can make the difference between de-escalating a situation, or making it worse.
Webinar presenter, Vicki Pero, will outline the practical steps that parking managers and front line employees can take to understand conflict situations, address or avoid conflict all together, and de-escalate conflict situations when they arise. Whether you're new to your role or a seasoned industry veteran, attend this webinar to learn new techniques that put you in the driver's seat regardless of the customer interaction.
