Navigating Difficult Personalities or “PITAs” in the Workplace
Presenter: Dr. Robert Orndorff
Navigating Difficult Personalities or “PITAs” in the Workplace An organization’s productivity and morale can literally be won and lost based on the interpersonal effectiveness and character of your employees. In this entertaining and dynamic seminar, Dr. Orndorff, the lead author of The PITA Principle: How to Work with and Avoid Becoming a Pain In The Ass, highlights seven types of difficult personalities or “PITAs” found most prevalently in the workplace and offers strategies for navigating your PITA coworkers and customers while becoming more aware of your own PITA tendencies.

Custodial Staffing- Using the APPA Guidelines to Justify Operational Positions
Presenters: Jason Sawyer and Sheri Vucci, Smithsonian Institution
How do you justify your operational staffing needs? How would you compare contracted cleaning services versus hiring in-house staff? What APPA custodial level do you strive to achieve? How can the APPA Custodial Standards help you achieve your staffing and funding goals.
Facility officers are increasingly pressed to identify improvements in value and the delivery of services which align with and contribute to the primary mission. The APPA Operational Guidelines for Custodial can provide new tools and techniques to: estimate staffing requirements, measure facility service delivery, improve custodial effectiveness and demonstrate value.
Hear from two speakers who have used the operational staffing models for a large organization and see the results of their findings including issues identified and next steps for the future. The presentation will also include a mock building and walk through all the steps needed to produce actionable, defendable and repeatable data.
TOUR: There will be a tour available following lunch. More to come on this!
