Teamwork programs instill the importance of building service partnerships with clients and colleagues (internal clients). They provide effective tools and proven techniques to increase service commitment, add service value and enjoy lasting win-win results in the service chain.

In the competitive business landscape, the continued success of the service organization is dependent on providing exceptional internal and external customer service. An emphasis on teamwork for service excellence is a major way to achieve effective customer service and a 'worth-place' environment i.e. a place where organizational success and personal satisfaction are both achieved. Poor internal customer service between departments will negatively impact an organization's external clients. Teambuilding is more than just the rah-rah of excitement and morale boosters. It is the holistic approach to an organization's effectiveness for shared objectives. This effectiveness is obtained through the instructional structuring of theme-based experiential activities and challenges that lead teams from their existing state to the desired state of service quality.

The main objective of the program is to instill in the participants the importance of working together in teams to achieve service excellence. This workshop gives you the skills you need to communicate service excellence, gain respect and enhance working relationships with internal and external clients. Through the interactive training process and activities, the participants will identify the desirable behaviors to build better relationship with clients, bosses and colleagues. You will be able to use these skills immediately to create a more supportive and cooperative working environment for the positive moment of truth. At the end of the workshop, the participants will be able to come together with greater cohesion as a team, communicate in an open manner and work effectively to exceed clients' expectations.

"Excellent service comes from staff who enjoy what they do;
converting a chore to a hobby where happiness is contagious.
That is the working environment we must aim for"

Dialogue is an in-depth conversation into the assumptions that structure and interpret our daily work experiences. Dialogue is a sustained inquiry held in an environment of mutual respect. Dialogue creates a group in which members explore difficult issues and are able to express their thoughts and feelings; and challenge assumptions. Dialogue moves a group beyond polarized "right or wrong" or "win or lose" thinking that leads to misunderstanding and communication breakdown. You can find the person you do not agree with and can still talk to, listen to them, not with a view to how to respond, with a view to understanding of reason a belief or position makes sense to someone else.

This workshop offers the motivation and skills to communicate and work through challenging concerns and issues in ways that bring shared understanding. It builds trust, strengthens relationships, and draws out the best thinking as well as new level of cooperation. Dialogue is such a powerful personal and team-learning tool for personal and professional development.
