Business Etiquette

Duration: 1 Day
Time: 8:30am-4:00pm

The workplace is an ever-changing, dynamic, and fast-paced environment, but no matter the adaptations to how we do things, professionalism is always a requirement for any organisation.

Professionalism is not a particular style or culture of an organisation, it is about the way in which employees demonstrate responsibility, ethics, collaboration, and the organisation’s brand.  While we may expect that every new recruit understands these principles, in today’s diverse workforce, we often find that individual perceptions of the workplace differ greatly.

In this course, we take learners back to basics and establish the ground-level expectations all organisations have of their staff.  We explore business etiquette as a practice of integrity, professionalism, and accountability. Our aim is to leave our learners with a strong identity of their purpose and commitments and to be equipped with the ability to represent a great work ethic.
