Employees - Attitude

It is the attitude that makes the difference.

This not only makes good business sense, it also reflects a deeper yearning of the human spirit to be of service, to build loving, caring relationships, to affirm our interdependence, and to bring value, beauty, and benefit into the world.

Human side of quality

The human quality should always include the following three components :

Creativity - The joy of thinking

Physical activity - The joy of working with sweat on the forehead.

Sociality - The joy of working together

Quality begins with me.

. If we are to take Total Quality to heart, we too must come to look at our own lives in a more multidimensional, interrelated and holistic manner. Taking the theme of Total Quality personally has the potential to tap us into the flow of life giving forces and ways of living and working that are ultimately most rewarding and productive

Quality is a winning attitude

Good Posture

The importance of good posture

Good posture allows free movement of energy, blood, nerve impulses, and oxygen. This, in turn, assists the body to work more efficiently and heal

more effectively. Good Posture allows our inner body to be free of

blocks and tension, to assist in optimal health.

Good posture is a fluid adjustment of the moving body, through a changing environment.

SMILE !! It reflects in your voice

• Use a smile to signal that you are in a pleasant mood , positive , and approachable

• Practice smiling in front of a mirror to gain confidence . See how you look with a broad showing teeth parted ,possibly leading to a soft laugh

• Smile to indicate a positive attitude: -Respect for the other person -Friendliness -Openness

 We are confident and comfortable while speaking to the customer.

We are happy, welcoming, and grateful for the opportunity to speak.

We know we are explaining something positive that will benefit the customer.

WORK AS A TEAM

•Always treat coworkers as you would like to be treated. •Never lie or spread gossip to get ahead or to get close to the boss. •Respect the moods of your fellow employees. Everybody has a bad day once in awhile. •Be polite. &•Try to get along with other employees. Be a team player.

REFRAINING NEGATIVITY

Workplace moodsSome days are bright

Some days are dull

Some people are optimistic and climb the ladder, and help others climb too

Yet they all work under one roof

For just like the globe, it takes all kinds of people to make a workplace

So where lies the difference?

The difference lies in teamwork

And teamwork is born out of

EMPATHY

EMPATHY meansPutting ourselves in other people’s shoes

EMPATHY meansListening

So EMPATHY is simple to understand BUT

Difficult to practice

But personnel who practice and encourage EMPATHY

Create Trust and generate Positive energy at the workplace

Where we spend the better part of our:Day Weeks Months Even years

Therefore, our colleagues are more than a family for us

So let us happily and constantly build bridges with them—for them

Let us accept them as they are and help them accept us as we are

But while we service our customers, let us not forget to practice the same values internally

For EMPATHY is not just good value

It is also good business

Let others lead small lives, but not

you. Let others argue over small

things,but not you. Let others cry over

small hurts, but not you. Let others

leave their future in someone else's

hands, but not you.

The Key is POSITIVE ATTITUDE

HAVE A SUCCESSFUL LIFE
