Building a Positive Working Environment Through Personal and Interpersonal Development

I. Rationale

Some of the greatest assets of every human being are to be able to control emotions
effectively, handle the emotions of others, empathize with others and to be able to maintain good relationships. These assets, through the leaders in the organization, should transcend in every organization to materialize its goals. It needs to acknowledge the emotional capacity of its workers and recognize where they should improve. How do leaders manage themselves? Up to what extent do leaders acknowledge their weaknesses and strengths? How mindful they are in terms of dealing with our people especially with the fellow workers within the organization?

On the other hand, we believe that communication is today’s most important skill in every organization to promote a positive working environment and to generate productivity in the workplace. Is the vision of the organization properly communicated to the rest of the members of the team for alignment?

Through this training, we will further understand the right communication process. The communication process involves receiving and giving feedback. We have been conducting surveys among employees from various industries in the country and the majority of the Management team and Human Resource Officers admit that workers do not understand that feedbacking always completes the communication process. As a result, employees feel disappointed, discouraged, or embarrassed whenever feedbacks of their performances and outputs are given to them.

Building the right communication process in the workplace is always connected with generating productivity. Thus, as each company desires to empower the employees to be more productive and efficient and to not settle for the bare minimum, everyone must go back to the very foundation of communication.
