Bookmark: Do Recent College Grads Need Workplace Etiquette Training?
I recently came across an interesting article from Intelligent.com revealing how 81% of managers see the need for workplace etiquette training for recent grads. They highlight weaknesses in areas like feedback and cellphone etiquette. It’s fascinating to see companies focusing on professionalism through training that covers conflict resolution and teamwork. As someone who values skill-building, these insights resonate deeply with me.
“The top topics and skills covered in workplace etiquette training programs are conflict resolution, diversity and inclusion, and collaboration and teamwork.”
