Civility in the Workplace

Disagreements in the workplace will occur. A key to successful workplace culture is to resolve disagreements in a beneficial way. Civility in the Workplace is designed to help identify behaviors that cause unhealthy conflict in the workplace as well as how to modify those behaviors to work out differences. It will also address the distinctions between harassment, bullying, and uncivil behaviors. Employees will review the role of a bystander and the importance of taking action. Course discussions include the encouragement of personal empowerment to increase workplace ownership and positive workplace cultures.
