Respect in the Workplace

Thursday |

Newton Marriott

2345 Commonwealth Ave
Newton, MA 02466

Overview

Rather than dwelling on legal standards and what not to do, this training will focus on what to do—the words and actions that promote respect and fairness, and participants’ responsibility for contributing to respect in the workplace. Using case studies, attendees will strategize about bystander intervention and ways to help others who may be behaving in ways that are disrespectful or who are being targeted by disrespect. Finally, attendees will engage in a feedback model to practice both giving and getting feedback about behavior that is uncivil or disrespectful. This is an interactive discussion-based course rather than a lecture format and will provide attendees with opportunities to utilize what they have learned in real world settings. 

  • Understand respect, feedback, and learning
  • Explore what derailers are 
  • Learn harassment policy and its impact
