Curing Negativity: Creating Positive Attitudes, Government Version

The morale and workplace environment in general, can be greatly affected by one's attitude. Attitudes affect the quality of work produced, a worker's productivity, as well as potential customer relations. Unfortunately, negative attitudes can quickly sabotage a workplace, and they may manifest in different people in different ways. You need to spot these negative attitudes in order to address and eliminate them; this training video helps give you those abilities.

There is more than likely an underlying cause for most negative attitudes. These causes must not be ignored, for if they are, they soon become worse and create more problems. Stressful situations may induce negativity in some, so these situations must also be addressed in order to replace negative tendencies with positive ones.

If the workplace is a negative environment, projects, if they are completed at all, may be completed poorly. Customer service may suffer. Morale may dwindle. All of these reasons lead to the obvious conclusion that negative attitudes must be replaced with positive ones in order for the workplace to function effectively. The information presented here gives you the techniques to identify, address, and replace the negative attitudes present in your workplace. Use this On Demand video and make your workplace a positive and efficient environment.
