Interpersonal Relationships at Work

Interpersonal Skills for 21st Century Organizations v1.1

This course explains what good interpersonal skills consist of, why they are important and how you can improve them. With the rise of teamwork and collaboration in contemporary organizations, the need for every employee to work effectively with and through others is paramount. The lack of interpersonal skills may be the major reason highly technically qualified professionals are not promoted and managers are less effective. Whether working on a team or leading a team, every employee needs to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively with others whose personalities, approaches, and work styles may differ greatly.

The goal of this course is to strengthen your interpersonal skills, enabling you to help your organization remain agile and relevant in today’s competitive workforce. Stronger interpersonal skills also result in the ability to initiate, build, and maintain relationships in both your professional and personal life.
