Change Management
There are a wide range of “changes” in business, and of those the impact can be can be positive and negative. An acquisition or merger might cause some existing employees to be released due to duplication of designated skills or employees. Although if a business is growing, they could conceivably need all employees. As for a reorganization or restructuring, there may be some employee reduction determined after some evaluation. If the company tries to rush this step, they could find themselves releasing some employees, who later they request their return. There are still other types of changes that can develop.
Workplace Behavior
With our very diversified workforce, more challenges have developed regarding appropriate and respectful Office Behavior! Everyone in a workforce possesses unique habits, routines, and processes that he/she have had over their lifetime. Each culture, nationality, religion, etc. has special ways learned from those close to them. However, for some who find those unusual or uncommon, it may seem strange or different. Still, all persons in the workforce should be instructed to exhibit respect for others. This area of human relations is extremely important and should be encouraged and expected of all.
Customer Service Workshops
Why is “good” Customer Service so important? Like good Workplace Behavior, it is a matter of being respectful of all (co-workers, superiors, customers, vendors…) Not only should there always be respect shown to others, but something as simple as being polite and helpful makes a BIG difference in how a customer responds and reacts to the company. When an employee treats a customer in a respectful manner and is honest, the customer is more likely to consider the company for their needs. However, there can be some customers who might be less than “trying of one’s patience”. This is one reason that employers might consider providing some good tips and advice on how to improve Customer Service? Contact Compass Career Management Solutions and discuss having one of our top consultants provide a very effective Customer Service Workshop. It can be very helpful.
