Professionalism in the Office
“Our new hires look great on paper and do really well in the interview process. After they come on board, however, it can be almost painful to see how slowly they figure out what it takes to fit in. We need a better way to help them get off on the right foot once they’ve joined out team.”
Professionalism. Courtesy. Organizational Skills. Flexibility. These are skills and attributes that are critical to the success of any organization. More often than not, those skills can be in short supply, especially among new and inexperienced employees. How do you move people from their “-personal style-” to consistent professional behavior that includes self-evaluation and the commitment to change in order to achieve positive results for the team?
Professionalism in the Office provides the tools needed to develop essential skills required for personal and team success in today’s work environment – professionalism, effective communication, time management and organization. Focusing on building these skills helps managers and supervisors develop a productive team ready to provide a positive contribution to the success of the organization.
Professionalism in the Office helps individuals recognize the qualities and skills that make an employee more professional on the job. Beginning with understanding their role in the organization and what the corporate culture sees as professional behavior, individuals then see the impact that improved performance will have. Throughout the workshop, participants review video presentations, participate in group discussions, practice new skills, and receive immediate feedback. Participants leave with a Personal Organizer to help implement skills they have learned back on the job. The one-day workshop is designed for 14 to 20 participants and includes the following:
