The Administrative Assistant

Learning Path: Job Skills Pro

Duration: 2 Day(s).

Course Overview

It is important to be proud of the work we accomplish and enjoy our jobs. One of the most critical components of a giving us a positive outlook about our job is the relationships we have with our coworkers. While we don’t have to like the people we work with, or report to, we should be able to interact positively with them at the very minimum.
Our work should not be an everyday struggle, and conflicts with coworkers should not take over the office environment. The biggest influence on our job satisfaction is our relationship with others. Over the next two days, we will work on those skills and abilities that will encourage the highest quality work from you and those who work alongside you.
