Why the fuss?
Why the fuss about manners? Etiquette, though subtle, is often the deal maker or breaker. Consider how the lack of business etiquette training affects the HR front and can lead to lawsuits:
- 28% of workers lose work time because of the perceived rudeness.1
- 12% of workers actually leave their jobs because of uncivil acts committed against them.1
- Employee turnover due to incivility is not trivial: the estimated average cost is $50,000 per employee across all jobs and industries in the US.2
The root cause of many failed business and marketing initiatives is a lack of business etiquette skills. Get the etiquette advantage now. Our Business Etiquette training includes Introductions, Business Social Situations, Handling Awkward Situations, Tech-Etiquette, New Hires and Table Manners.
