TRP promotes problem solving, teamwork, and accountability.
Your Partner for Workforce Teamwork & Positivity Training
Benefits
TRP training establishes a culture of accountability, respect, and teamwork. In the workplace, we can sometimes feel a lack of control, unappreciated, and disconnected from our colleagues. We can also be resistant to change without realizing it. How do you infuse your organization with a culture of responsibility, cooperation, respect, and teamwork and get beyond these unproductive behaviors? Be part of the solution. Schedule in-person or virtual TRP workshops with Hometown Connections.
Features
The TRP workshop will help everyone on your team achieve a greater self-awareness and a feeling of personal accountability. Each will learn how to provide honest, candid feedback to others and how to accept feedback in return.
TRP is grounded in research and values that help shift the culture of an organization from one of blame to an environment of respect and accountability, helping both employees and organizations thrive. TRP is a practical, hands-on workshop that will help every utility employee—leaders and individual contributors—learn innovative and proven ways to move out of the “victim mentality” to remain positive, productive, and effective, even in the midst of change or adversity. Workshop exercises focus on such issues as rescuing versus enabling employees, conflict management, and giving & receiving feedback.
Through a variety of exercises, workbook materials, and open discussion, participants discover how to take responsibility for their own actions and attitudes to become more creative and productive.
