As Simple As Respect

What is respect, and how do you create a respectful work environment? We need respect from our coworkers, family members, and even strangers to lead productive and fulfilling lives. At work, a disrespectful environment can easily damage not only your work life, but your personal life as well. There are several ways you can help create a more respectful work environment, and this video-based training shows you how.

To create a respectful workplace, everyone must value diversity. In other words, everyone must value each other as coworkers, despite any perceived differences. Common perceived differences include culture and religion, and these perceptions are often breeding grounds for disrespect and discrimination. This course shows different examples of disrespectful behavior, how those behaviors impact others, and what to do to resolve the situation.

While it is important to ensure your behavior is respectful, you should also speak up against disrespectful behavior you see others committing. After all, everyone has a duty and obligation to create a more respectful work environment and to turn uncomfortable situations into learning experiences. Utilize the information presented in this training video and learn how creating a harmonious workplace for everyone is as simple as respect.
