Positively Representing Your Organization

Description
It is human nature to size others up- make judgments about them based on their actions. In fact, most of us do this without even realizing it. These assumptions, however, can impact more than just an individual.

Front-line workers, such as direct caregivers and administrative/business office staff, are often the main face or representative of an agency as they have the most interaction with clients and family. Your actions and interactions with clients and families can have a positive or negative effect on their impression of you as well as that of your agency. This module offers insight and tips to create the best possible professional image while positively representing your organization.
