Speaker Series: Business Etiquette
Guest Speaker: Michelle Zahayko, IAAP Western Canada Division Treasurer
Today’s administrative professional is being asked to assume new roles in the workplace. Along with this increased responsibility comes the need to acquire new behaviors and to demonstrate proper business etiquette in various social situations.
Actual demonstrations of business scenarios will provide the audience with opportunities to critique the protocol, manners, and social conventions in four settings. Test your current knowledge of business etiquette and brush up on the changes that have evolved as the workforce becomes more diverse.
This workshop will prepare you for those occasions when you are asked to conduct business in social settings outside the office environment, participate in interviews that affect hiring decisions, and effectively function in team decision making.
