Create a Respectful Workplace

Series Type: 
Workshop Series

Respectful workplaces have a significant impact on employees; increasing overall productivity, empowering when managing change, and even enjoying work.  As workplaces become more diverse, employees are benefitting in numerous ways from the differing views, backgrounds, and identities.  However, these differences can sometimes manifest in behaviors that lead to disrespect and increased conflict. 

This two-part workshop focuses on behaviors that create a respectful workplace and learning how to take action through bystander awareness training to maintain a respectful workplace.
