To succeed in today’s fast-paced and highly pressured business world, you know you need to perform at your best. Two things that are unchanging in our world are the importance of being able to represent ourselves the very best we can, and being able to influence and collaborate effectively with others. Additionally, the people we meet may have vastly different backgrounds than ours, therefore we need to know how not to stand out for the wrong reasons, but instead to facilitate smooth and positive interactions.
Swiss Etiquette’s Corporate Training Programmes include a diverse range of subject areas that are suitable for a range of industries. The trainings are advised for executives, diplomats, public servants, lawyers, bankers, doctors, consultants, financial advisors, those working in family offices, high profile figures, and anyone who is in business.
The trainings are highly engaging, informative and relevant. They allow employees to represent themselves and their company in the highest way and to have confidence in doing so. This becomes essential for three specific groups of people:
- All employees who have dealings with the outside world:
- Executives who are in contact with owners/board members/shareholders
- M&A teams
- Those involved in JVs and partnerships
- Those dealing with consultants
- Those in business development
- Those representing the business at trade shows
- Those who greet and host visitors to the company at events or on-site
- Sales teams
- Client relations
- Receptionists, telephone support
- Anyone working in a part of the campus that receives visitors
2. Executives, directors, partners and other high-level employees
3. Those in other positions for whom it is important to develop their professional skills. This could include recent graduates or recent hires, or those employees with high potential who want to advance effectively in the company.
Etiquette, in its simplest terms, is a consensus on accepted behaviours and forms. In a more and more interconnected business world and with an international and multigenerational workforce, even innocent mistakes or oversights can cost a company an entire deal, or can cost a high potential employee the possibility of promotion. Etiquette training makes it possible to smooth out the differences in backgrounds, cultures, education, communication styles, and instead will elevate staff so they can smoothly and confidently interact in any business situation, both within the company and on the outside.
Intercultural trainings for example, give employees a strong knowledge of how to interact in a given setting, so they don’t have to worry about technicalities but instead can focus on the business dealings. Training in dining etiquette and business lunch strategies will allow employees to represent the company beautifully in a dining setting, empowering them to achieve the goals of those meetings.
Trainings may be delivered in-person or online, and on a one-on-one course, ongoing coaching, or group seminar format.
