  Essential Office Etiquette - February 2010
 

Fasset’s Essential Office Etiquette workshop will be held countrywide in February 2010 and will cover the principles and techniques of Office Etiquette. Etiquette can vary widely across cultures and nations, and this workshop is designed to meet the above need by identifying features that are relevant to all individuals in our country. New staff and learners will find this particularly useful.

 
Course Outline
 

The etiquette of business is the set of written and unwritten rules of conduct that make social interactions run more smoothly. Office Etiquette in particular applies to co-worker interaction and excludes interactions with external contacts such as customers and service providers. Fasset’s full-day Office Etiquette workshop aims to create an awareness and understanding of the basics of Office Etiquette, and to equip delegates with proven practical skills and tools to foster a harmonious workplace and a more productive environment. The topics covered will include, but are not limited to:

  • What is office etiquette
  • Office relationships
  • Professional conduct and professional attire
  • Courtesy for people with disabilities
  • Handling difficult people and difficult issues
  • Ethical dilemmas
  • Personal contact etiquette
  • Etiquette in meetings and confidentiality

  • Appropriate use of the internet, email and telephone
  • Attending business functions, social gatherings and office parties
  • Open plan office etiquette
  • Bathroom etiquette
  • Unacceptable behaviour at work and common office etiquette mistakes
  • Other related issues relevant to the topic

Please Note

  1. It is the role of the Skills Development Facilitator (SDF) to distribute this invitation to relevant individuals in the organisation who may benefit from this training.
  2. Confirmation of registration together with an agenda and a map will be provided per fax or e-mail. If, by chance, you do not receive confirmation, please contact the Call Centre on 086 101 0001 to confirm that you are registered. If you register and are unable to attend, or wish to be replaced by a colleague, please notify the Call Centre at least seven days before the event to enable Fasset to manage numbers and prevent wastage.
  3. Any venue with less than 14 registrations will be cancelled and delegates notified in writing.
  4. While every effort is made to pre-plan training workshops, delegates are accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis when registering. Where we are unable to accommodate you at your venue of choice, you will be contacted to confirm another acceptable venue.
  5. Fasset reserves the right to refuse late-comers or delegates who book after the deadline.
  6. Fasset members who pay the Skills Development Levy and who travel over 300kms (roundtrip) to attend a training session will be reimbursed at a rate of R3-28 per kilometre. The travel claim procedure and the requirements for this travel claim are available on our website (Events section).
  7. Should a delegate choose to attend a training session at a venue not in close proximity to their home, and other adequately located venues have been provided by Fasset, Fasset will not reimburse a travel claim. Claims will only be paid where the closest venues are fully booked and delegates are requested by the Fasset Call Centre to move to another venue. This request will be kept on file by Fasset as proof and all claims will be verified against this.
