Respectful Workplaces Are Built From the Ground, up

Respectful workplace training fosters individual well-being and engagement, which translates into organizational productivity and success. However, respectful workplaces do not magically happen. They require work and commitment from everyone. Each person has a legal and practical role to play.

The challenge is that workplaces are complex, dynamic environments. Everyone has their role and must work together to achieve a common goal. But we are unique in who we are, how we work, and what we value. Our attitudes and work practices are as diverse as our backgrounds.

When everyone interacts respectfully and harnesses this incredible diversity, a workplace is a progressive place of individual empowerment and organizational growth. However, without a foundation of respect, differences and diversity can be used against individuals. Intolerant and disrespectful behaviour can infect an entire organization.

The starting point for building a respectful workplace is meaningful and practical training for everyone. Top employers recognize this and take a proactive approach to build respectful, enriching and diverse workplaces.

The Damage and Risk Created by Workplace Conflict

Organizations that tolerate disrespect experience higher levels of turnover, conflict, and grievances, and lower levels of engagement, attendance and productivity. If left unchecked, bullying, abuse of power, harassment and discrimination can turn a healthy workplace into a toxic situation.

This is not merely unfortunate – it is unlawful. Human rights, employment and occupational health and safety laws in many jurisdictions, in North American and beyond, require employers to develop harassment policies and provide anti-harassment, bullying and discrimination training.

Each of us has the right to work in an environment that is respectful. We also have an equal responsibility to treat others respectfully. No exceptions. No excuses.

The Benefits of an Inclusive, Respectful Workplace

Respectful workplaces are more productive, rewarding, and enjoyable. They are environments where employees work well together and recognize the value of building upon each individual’s strengths and abilities. Employees are happy, engaged and more collaborative and innovative.

The benefits of inclusive, respectful workplaces are extensive. Here are a few of the reasons to embrace diversity and inclusion training:

  • Stronger culture and improved corporate reputation
  • Increased productivity and profitability
  • Improved employee attraction and retention
  • Reduced illness and absenteeism
  • Improved team communication and morale
