- Using the Golden Rule to Get Along With Others -

Course Overview

If you surveyed a random list of organisations both large and small and asked them what their core values were the chances are that most would identify “respect” as one of their top values. But what does “respect” actually mean and why is it important in today’s workplaces?

A recent study of more than 17,000 employees from across 80 countries it was revealed that having respect for and for their colleagues is one of the core elements for creating a positive work culture and atmosphere to work in.

During the Using the Golden Rule to Get Along With Others training, you will learn that everyone wants to feel respected at work. After all, a respectful work environment motivates us to do our best work, encourages us to support others. As you will discover, treating others the way you want to be treated not only produces positive results for you, but it means a happier place to work with greater job satisfaction for everyone.
