Overview:

At the height of his career in the early 1940's Albert Einstein said, "It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity." If he thought things were bad back then, just imagine what he'd say about the vast incivilities we encounter almost daily in the seemingly "etiquette-free" world of technology!

Why should you attend: In a work-word almost entirely reliant on gadgets, your high-tech habits can help you or hurt you. Because "high-tech" often translates to "low touch", how you communicate can impact first impressions, relationships, and customer service. Your professionalism, whether you get promoted, and sometimes even profitability are impacted by how you manage your electronic communications and online reputation.

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • Avoid ineffective, and inappropriate, use of their gadgets can cost their reputation
  • Recognize common technology timewasters
  • Update their habits by applying current e-etiquette guidelines
  • Incorporate 5 best practices for maintaining civility while benefiting from the conveniences of technology

Who Will Benefit:
  • Anyone who uses Electronic Communication in his/her daily work
  • HR Professionals
  • CEO
  • Senior Vice President
  • Vice President
  • Executive Director
  • Managing Director
  • Regional Vice President
  • Area Supervisor
  • Manager
