Improving Interpersonal Relations at Work

The importance of effective people skills will never diminish at workplaces even with the advent of new information communication technology (ICT). The new technologies have certainly sped up the way things get done in the modern workplace but have also raised the expectations of how fast things need to get done. Today, people do not say they need something done tomorrow. They need it ‘yesterday’. With the advent of technology, work in many ways has become easier and faster, but work-related tensions are probably higher than ever before. Stress is everywhere and always and we all know that when tensions are high, the potential for friction between individuals rises proportionately. It does not matter what area of the economy you are in because the same forces are at play everywhere. No matter what your line of work, level of authority, professional career, your degree of success depends on your ability to interact effectively with other people. Effective interpersonal skills are one of the major key factors for effective people management this programme is offering.
