Workplace Basics is the first book in DTR Inc.'s series for classroom and on the job work readiness and customer service training. This is the second edition of the book, published in November of 2013. A complete volume including all four modules with additional instructor tools is now available. Visit www.DTRConsulting.BIZ/workreadiness.htm for more information. At the end of each book are two workplace scenarios where things go right and things go wrong. Use the scenarios in the books as read and discuss exercises after teaching the material in the book, or to create your own certification tests. This first book, Workplace Basics, covers topics that all workers need to know, that many employers assume they do know, but that many workers, in reality, do not know. This often leads to supervisors and managers becoming very frustrated with workers who, otherwise, would be top performers. The book starts by explaining the profit motive of businesses and the relationship between profits and job security and employee compensation. The goal is to clearly demonstrate that employees' life goals are closely aligned to the success of the company for which they work. After this introduction, the book covers behaviors that employees need to follow help ensure a successful workplace, which in turn, helps keep the company profitable and everyone employed. Topics include: absenteeism, tardiness, use of sick days, proper grooming, safety in the workplace, how life style and habits away from work impacts work, avoiding harassment and discrimination at work, dating in the workplace, being dependable, being responsible, the difference between raises and promotions, and more. In addition to being valuable for existing employees, this book is ideal to use as part of a company's new employee orientation process.

“After teaching a course to college students pursuing trade careers, George Searles realized his students needed a book that focused on practical applications, rather than theory—and that explored workplace communication in a user-friendly tone. Workplace Communications: The Basics takes a down-to-earth approach to writing and communicating on the job, teaching the essentials in an accessible style appropriate for any student or course. The clear, concise nature of the book meets the needs of not only its originally intended audience, but the needs of students taking technical communication at a wide range of institutions for any major as well. The Seventh Edition retains and enhances the text’s pedagogical aids, rich examples, and practical exercises, preparing students to communicate successfully in any workplace environment.”--Publisher’s description.

Outlined under each of the ten steps are optional actions and strategies that can be immediately put to use. The author includes job aides to help the reader assess skills and competencies. As an added bonus at the end of the guide, the author identifies a list of Workplace Dirty Dozen Behaviors that she believes are detrimental to career success and advancement. To facilitate the reader in planning and implementing a course of action, the author provides a personal action planning form at the end of each step. The form is a tool that helps the reader identify personal action steps, including notes to refer to later. The process facilitates documentation of strategies and ideas that could e helpful to advancing one’s career. This guide is particularly useful for new and returning workers. College students who are about to embark on their career journeys might find this guide very useful prior to and during the initial employment period.
