PSA 1: Accountability at Its Best
Accountability: It’s something that all managers want from their employees. But what does it really mean? And how do you become accountable? This course helps participants define and recognize accountability in themselves and others, and provides tips on improving their accountability at work. (No licensed materials; HR Options, $60.)
PSA 2: Communication in the Workplace
Communication is key in all of our interpersonal interactions. But often, we are not trained in communication skills, let alone in a professional setting.

Participants will also learn key pointers for good phone and e-mail communication. (No licensed materials; HR Options, $60.)
