Description

"Small Talk, Big Impact: The Importance of Social Engagement at Work"

Overview: “Hey, did you see the game?” “What did you do over the weekend?” “Did you see what happened on Chicago P.D.?”

These simple questions often lead to complex reactions. One of the first things that coworkers notice, long before bosses do, is the ability or inability to engage in small talk. Socializing on the job may seem superfluous and unnecessary to actually getting your job done.

With that being said, being sociable is important to office culture, forging relationships, and building a sense of comradery among co-workers. Managing social interactions with colleagues at work can make the difference between success and failure in a career, and organizations are placing an increasing emphasis on interpersonal, as well as technical skills, when they recruit. This is because no matter how adept you are in your particular area of expertise, if you can't get along effectively with others, your work will have little or no impact at all.

About the Presenter: Staci Carr received a Master’s degree in Education from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Since 1993, Staci has been working and conducting research in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specifically addressing Social Skills Training and Social Competence, Quality of Life, Transition to College, and Relationships and Sexuality, and first responder training and preparedness. She has worked in Michigan, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Virginia developing programs to support individuals in a variety of settings with varying abilities. Additionally, Dr. Carr has consulted nationally on issues related to adolescents and young adults with ASD.
