Building Respectful Workplaces

Building Respectful Workplaces -- What this Program is About...

Most teams name ‘respect’ among their top 10 values and lack of it as one of their main bugbears. Codes of conduct implore us to treat others respectfully but the sad part is many of us just don’t seem to know how. Lack of respect spells havoc at work. It fuels resentments and even resignations, poisons our experience of work, robs us of vitality and feelings of self-worth, kills-off trust, ruins relationships and corrodes productivity.

Along with trust, respect is one of the twin currencies of leadership. It’s critical for constructive relationships, great teamwork and inspirational leadership. At the root of it, respect’s a set of learned behaviours, stemming from ingrained emotional and thinking patterns. It’s an attitude, a predisposition, a state of mind that translates into ways of saying and doing you can learn, though these don’t always come naturally.

Do you want to:

Sharpen your ideas about what respectful behaviour looks like?

Identify root-causes, dynamics and impacts of disrespect?

Take positive steps to create team cultures based on mutual respect, trust, openness?

Evaluate how you behave when you’re interacting with others?

Learn to constructively confront disrespectful behaviour?
