Professional Training Services believes that change and negativity in the workplace are primary challenges to organizational productivity, employee satisfaction, and customer service. Rapid social change, organizational change, and personal change frequently cause individuals and organizations alike to feel a loss of control and a loss of direction which often results in negativity. Negativity impacts interactions with both internal and external customers while setting the stage for how successfully organizations perform. Through training, employees and organizations acquire the knowledge, understanding, and skills necessary to overcome obstacles presented by change and negativity in the workplace.
