Civility in the Workplace: Fostering Respect, Collaboration, and Positive Interaction

The presentation on Civility in the Workplace is structured into three key parts. It begins by defining civility in a professional context and sharing research on current workplace behaviors in the U.S. The second section discusses how civil conduct should be exhibited in various professional relationships, including among peers, subordinates, and industry competitors. Finally, the presentation highlights the negative impacts of incivility and the overall advantages of fostering a respectful and courteous work environment.
