The destructive seeds of corporate Bad Apples decrease productivity and performance resulting in lost business opportunities, low morale, and high employee turnover. The cost to replace these corporate Bad Apples can tax any departmental budget. In most cases, management chooses to ignore these employees by just trying to work around them to get the job done. This strategy does not increase business or profits.

Jean R. McFarland, Ph.D., has developed a series of Bad Apple Solutions designed to meet the challenges of these Bad Apples in the corporate workplace. Her 5-Step Anti-Conflict System creates permanent behavior change, works across cultures, and makes participants better employees.  

The Destructive Power of One Bad Apple
Low productivity and quality. Poor customer service. Absenteeism, employee turnover and lawsuits. Those are just a few of the most common maladies caused by problem people…but what exactly can you do about them? Dr. McFarland demonstrates what employee conflict really costs companies and introduces a 5-Step Anti-Conflict System that creates permanent change and works across cultures.

Bullies Among Us…and how to stop their behaviors now
More than a dozen states have introduced anti-bullying legislation in the past five years, but browbeating language and behavior remain persistent challenges in many workplaces. Dr. McFarland provides a practical guide to reporting and handling bullying, improving communications and raising morale by helping people speak up and speak out.
