People skills in the workplace are an important ability that many do not have, unfortunately.

Workers are often thrown together with others who have alternative personalities, world views, intelligence levels, refinement levels and the like.

They are thrown together in a small building, oftentimes in one room, where they will spend an average of eight hours a day together.

Lack of workplace people skills can hurt the workers, the management staff and the business.

However, workers and businesses can do the following to help ensure that they improve workplace people skills:
![Page 11: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1 TAKE A COURSE
![Page 12: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
One thing that an employer can offer is a special course before new employees start. People can try to find courses on their own before they start a new job, as well.
![Page 13: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Many companies and websites offer people skills seminars, classes and courses.
![Page 14: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Employees do not have to be in the dark when it comes to getting along with others.
People skills are available through live seminars, electronic seminars, e-books, DVDs and CDs, regular books and telephone sessions.
![Page 15: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sometimes employees just need to be exposed to different options and find a style that works best for them.
![Page 16: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2 SPEAK WITH A COACH
![Page 17: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A coach, sometimes referred to as a “mentor”, can help an employee to develop the skills necessary for that person to get along with other employees, management staff and customers.
![Page 18: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The coach will most likely help the person remember to think before speaking and to breathe when he or she feels like the chance of an altercation may be getting close.

3 ASSESSMENTS
![Page 20: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Employers can ensure that the those they hire are up to par by having them take skill assessments that will speak volumes about their varying personality traits.
![Page 21: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Assessments ask prospective employees questions that can help employers to determine how they will handle certain situations beforehand.
![Page 22: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
An employer can use such assessments after he or she has hired an employee, as well.
![Page 23: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The assessments can serve to show how the employee has progressed over the years, as well as areas that still need to be addressed.
![Page 24: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
4 DRAW THE LINE
![Page 25: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Finally, an employee has to learn how to “draw the line” when trying to get along with other employees.
![Page 26: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Drawing the line can be difficult, but sometimes the employee will have to take that step in order to maintain his or her sanity, for peace in the office, and when dealing with an unhappy customer.
![Page 27: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Personalities clash at work at times because employees have different backgrounds and thus handle themselves differently in certain situations.
![Page 28: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
For example, being prompt may be important to one employee while another employee is fine with always being a few minutes late.
![Page 29: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
While being late may very well be against the workplace rules, the problem does not belong to the “prompt” employee.
![Page 30: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The responsibility of resolving the problem belongs with the manager.
![Page 31: Improve Your Workplace People Skills](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb97f1a28aba83f8b4603/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
People skills development is possible if the person follows the previously mentioned tips.
Employers can help to shape employee personalities by doing their part, as well.
