Workplace Etiquette – $25

Approximately 30 minutes

According to a survey on national civility, 40 percent of respondents believe American workplaces are “totally uncivil”. The incivility, says a manager at a consulting and staffing firm, may be due to “tighter” work areas as companies cut budgets and maximized office space. The result? Inadvertent etiquette violations and a growing need to review basic office decorum.  Workplace Etiquette offers a much-needed refresher on etiquette training; the program stresses the importance of decorum at work, showing how bad manners can affect productivity and damage relationships. The program covers six rules of workplace etiquette:

  • Dial back the volume
  • Don’t abuse electronic devices
  • Wait for an invitation
  • Keep private matters private
  • Use your sick days when you’re sick
  • Do not offend the olfactory
