LLCC Human Resources is offering a free workshop on March 22 from 1-3 p.m. on Effective Communication in the Workplace.

This in-person workshop includes topics and tools useful for dealing with co-workers and the “customers” we serve daily.  Often, we forget that the best form of communication is just to be observant, remain quiet and listen. Subjects that will be covered in this workshop are the use of active listening in the workplace, how to read body language and helping others problem solve in an effective manner.

For further information regarding this workshop, please visit the training portal section Effective Communication in the Workplace.  To register, please email Alan.Pasley@llcc.edu.
