Homewood Health has partnered with Occupational Health and Wellness to host this webinar. Description: People form judgments about others in the workplace based on behaviours, attitude, speech, and appearance. The impressions that individuals communicate to others (positive or negative) can help move them ahead professionally, or can slow down their career progress and even create conflict in the workplace. This session will give participants an understanding of the importance of professional behaviours in the workplace and what it involves.
