WeComply, Inc., a leader in web-based ethics and compliance training for corporate employees, has released a new course entitled Business Etiquette. This course explains the fundamental principles of business etiquette and discusses how attention to these principles can facilitate working relationships, enhance business dealings, reduce stress and encourage productivity.
The course covers such topics as considerate workplace conduct, dealing with diversity, business socializing and professional appearance. Other topics included in the course are phones and conferencing, e-mail, texting and instant messaging, online networking, and special considerations for international business.
“Employees who are unaware of the basic rules of business etiquette are at risk of unintentionally offending co-workers and clients,” said Mike Pallatta, WeComply CEO. “Training employees to practice good business etiquette can make the difference between a comfortable working environment and a tense one, or even between a successful deal and no deal at all.”
