Electronic technology in the form of email and the Internet has transformed the workplace in more ways than anyone could have imagined 20 years ago. These technological advances, while beneficial, pose special problems for employers.

A common phrase in the workplace is that employees leave their manager, rather than the company. Therefore, a critical area of focus should be placed on how managers and their direct reports interact. If the manager can create an environment of good communication leading to trust, it stands to reason that employees will be more satisfied and stay with their employer longer. Learning basic elements of adapting and connecting with others will provide a solid foundation for interpersonal skills and improve all aspects of the manager/leader/employee dynamic.

There are no CEUs for this course. 

The purpose of this course is to understand the cultural importance of the individual and those directly affected, including family and friends, in dealing with illness and death.

Continuing Education: VGM Education is authorized by IACET to offer 0.1 CEUs for this program.
