Respect & Civility in the Workplace
Help one employee improve workplace tone, respectful communication, conflict response and everyday professional behavior.
Respect & Civility in the Workplace is a behavior-focused online course that shows employees how daily words, tone, body language, emails, chats, side comments and reactions affect coworkers and workplace trust.
The course translates broad expectations such as “be respectful” into specific, practical behaviors employees can recognize and apply in everyday workplace situations.
Training multiple employees? Each learner receives a separate account, individual progress tracking and their own completion documentation through the team-training system.
Workplace incivility often appears in small daily behaviors.
Respect problems do not always begin with one dramatic event. They often show up through tone, sarcasm, eye-rolling, dismissive replies, gossip, exclusion, side comments and repeated communication habits.
This course gives employees concrete examples of respectful conduct and shows how small behavior changes can reduce tension, protect trust and improve everyday workplace interaction.
Building a respectful workplace one interaction at a time.
The course breaks workplace respect into specific, repeatable behaviors employees can practice during daily communication, disagreement, frustration and teamwork.
