Using Respect to Strengthen Workplace Relationships
Workplace interactions set the tone for culture, and when respect is missing, collaboration suffers. Even small lapses in courtesy can erode trust over time. This microlesson delivers skills training to help employees practice respectful interactions, strengthen teamwork, and create a healthier workplace environment.
Microlesson Description
In this microlesson, we model how managers can provide instant feedback in a non-confrontational way when they see disrespectful behavior. We aren’t always on our best behavior, especially under stressful situations, but we should always strive to be the best and most respectful to each other. This microlesson is part of our Workplace Color Spectrum® microlesson series.
Key Concepts
- Use the Workplace Color Spectrum® to pause and analyze behaviors, rate the behavior, then take action.
- How to intervene when others in the workplace are being rude or insensitive, or hear disrespectful conversations.
- Helpful feedback creates a more respectful workplace.
