Course Description
Are you appalled by the lack of courtesy team members show at work? Fundamental acts of consideration just aren’t there!
This can have a chilling effect on individuals as well as team performance and the organization’s success.
Thoughtless behaviors such as:
- routinely showing up late to meetings
- leaving common spaces littered
- gossiping
Create sloppiness, feelings of under-appreciation, and resentments. These chisel away at the ‘We’re in this together” spirit, a hallmark of a collaborative, productive workforce.
Although no malice may be intended, rudeness weakens trust. As examples, co-workers aren’t certain they can rely on each other for help through rough patches; they wonder if everyone’s pulling their weight.
Rudeness breeds discontent. This stunts team performance and seeps into client interactions. This can sully the organization’s reputation and endanger its revenue potential.
A Gallop poll showed that employees who do not have friends at work are more likely to feel unsatisfied and shy away from engaging. Absenteeism and turnover rates rise; productivity sinks.
When co-workers do not show they care about each other, both they and the organization that employs them are less likely to reach their full potential. Everyone loses out.
Daunting as it may sound, some organizations have cracked the code of “Effective Collaboration at Workplace”.
There are specific proven techniques that enable both leaders and employees to work well together, learn from one another, and overcome the psychological barriers that get in the way of doing both. They all help people connect more fully and consistently.
In this webinar, Janet, a Workplace Relationship Coach, shows the leaders Techniques that enable a co-worker to stand up for themselves while showing respect for others, in turn foster collaboration.

Why you should attend
Collaborative skills have never been more important. When minds come together, there’s no limit! In a globally interconnected world, for leaders it’s more important than ever to build teams with great collaboration skills. But how do leaders ensure that their teams are working together to harness the collective idea power for improved efficiency, productivity, innovation and agility?
This webinar is packed with proven strategies for driving a group collaboration, offers practical advice to managers and leaders for getting the most out of the teams and ideation sessions. Learnings from the session will give you the edge when solving new problems and embarking on new projects.
Employees who put their nose to the grindstone and “get the work done” are not enough if they and the organization that employs them are to thrive. Employees need to look up and reach out – invest time and energy in their workplace peers. They need to turn from workers into co-workers.
The alternative is a team of frustrated, isolated people who will never reach their potential. Nor will the organization that employs them.
A SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) study shows that such employees inject surfing the Internet, shopping online, watching movies, and even sneaking a drink into their workday. This makes sense. There’s little motivation to do more than the minimum if they feel their contributions, and thus they, don/t really matter. If they feel invisible.
In such cases, Management can look forward to compromised productivity, high turnover, and revenue that never hit the target.
In this webinar, participants will learn practical, easy ways to make co-workers feel valued, understood, and heard. This raises morale, productivity, and revenues.
