Discussing Emotional Intelligence

Every workplace is comprised of people with different strengths, personalities and emotions, which can greatly affect the way they work. Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage your emotions as well as the emotions of others.

Having emotional intelligence increases your chances of being more accepted on teams and considered for leadership positions.

According to an article by the University of Florida, “No matter how many degrees or other qualifications an employee has, if he or she doesn’t have certain emotional qualities, he or she is unlikely to succeed. As the workplace continues to evolve, making room for new technologies and innovations, these qualities may become increasingly important”.

There will be another team building seminar on November 11 that would include the Office Personnel, Kitchen B, Security B, Nurse, Officers, ZOA, ICS, Driver B, and General ESL Hourly Teachers
