Workplace Civility – An Introduction
A sigh and an eyeroll, talking over someone, talking to someone with a loud, curt, and directive tone, failing to acknowledge another person’s presence, gossiping, or whispering behind another’s back… in the workplace these may not seem like serious issues or independently rise to a level of harassment or discrimination; however these subtleties and the more noticeable behaviors and actions all contribute to the work environment and experience, not only of the faculty and staff, but also those we serve – our students, alumni, family, etc., and the organization as a whole.
During this in-person workshop, led by Pam Gavenda, participants will be introduced to what civility is within a work environment, why it is important, and what actions or next steps they may take to further promote civility within the workplace; including further developing their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Next session: TBD – Spring 2025
