Presentation Overview

Research shows that more than 70% of workers have been impacted by disrespectful workplace behavior. Disrespect comes in many forms: rudeness, sabotage, gossip, bullying, harassment, ignoring, and the list goes on. Regardless of the type, its impact is enormous: disengagement; loss of creativity and productivity; and people quitting. It creates dysfunctional workplaces that impact your projects, clients, reputation and bottom line.

Fortunately, there are many proactive, preventative measures that you can take to manage disrespect. With tools and an action plan, everyone can prevent, manage and eliminate your workplace nightmare.

Disrespect happens, no matter how we reinforce expectations for workplace respect. If ignored or handled badly, it devastates projects and teams. If handled early and effectively, relationships and workplace culture will be enriched. This makes disrespect management critical. Simply put - disrespect requires intervention and direct conversations.

This presentation will enable participants to effectively reduce and manage workplace disrespect. More specifically, it will enable participants to enhance their communication skills for proactively engaging to confront disrespect, addressing bad behavior, having difficult conversations, Improving listening skills and enriching relationships and workplace culture.
