Mastering the Respectful Workplace: 10 Tips to Boost Productivity and Morale
This course from WorkExcel.com gives you 10
tips to improve morale, attitude and performance at work by mastering the
art of respectful behavior.
As much as employees try to show respect for others
through their actions, some subtle (or not so subtle) misguided behaviors can
sabotage any employee's reputation and your effectiveness.
In this program, employees
learn to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate behavior and gain
awareness so they make all the right moves.
High-achieving professionals
seek continual improvement in their work product and their ability to
collaborate with others, and the 10 tips in this course will reinforce success in both areas.
When employees treat everyone with
respect, their positive behavior influences others throughout the organization and positive work culture begins to form.
Conversely, disrespectful behavior can prove especially disruptive. Through what’s called
the "bystander effect,” co-workers who witness another coworker's adverse actions may
feel hurt, anger and lower morale.
Speaking of morale, there’s
a connection between the impact of disrespectful behavior on an employer (in
terms of productivity and financial under-performance) and the collective spirit
of the workforce.
Engaging in harassment or ridicule--or simply violating
others’ space--can trigger a downhill spiral that not only undermines one's credibility but harms everyone's work experience.
So this Respect in the Workplace PowerPoint course includes true-false questions to help employees apply what they learn.
