Savvy organizations know that maintaining a healthy workplace culture attracts top talent, drives productivity, and increases the bottom line. However, few companies know how to improve their culture and keep it thriving. The Drama-Free Workplace is a hands-on guide filled with proven strategies and guidance for creating and sustaining a cohesive, collaborative workplace culture that enables widespread innovation, increased productivity, and higher revenue.
In today’s post #MeToo world, smart business leaders realize they have to do more than just check the box with their sexual harassment and unconscious bias training programs. Instead, they need to have a laser-focus on a company culture that supports diversity and inclusion—and doesn’t feed into morale-sapping drama.
In The Drama-Free Workplace, Emtrain’s former VP of Workplace Strategy Patti Perez, shares her and the company’s expertise to help business leaders understand causes, effects, and solutions to common workplace problems related to:
Sexual harassment
Bias and diversity
Ethics lapses
The book will help you gain insight into how to anticipate—and diffuse—situations that give rise to drama. You’ll learn how to hone your emotional intelligence to communicate more precisely and persuasively about sensitive, controversial topics in the workplace. The book also provides a number of DIY policies, templates, and frameworks you can use to start creating a more healthy and drama-free workplace today.
