Respectful Workplace Training
Our Respectful Workplace Training provides your team with the shared language, practical skills, and strategies needed to build and maintain a safe, respectful, and productive work environment
Every organization has rules, but how do you move beyond policies to build a truly safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace culture?
Unwanted behaviours arise in every workplace, and the key is to support employees to respond helpfully while increasing productivity, engagement, and personal commitment.
Our Respectful Workplace Training is designed to translate your organizational values into individual responsibility for day-to-day behaviour. This interactive program equips your team with a shared language and a practical framework to consistently respond to unhelpful situations. The training is delivered in two key modules:
Module 1: Creating a Respectful Workplace This module focuses on personal responsibility, giving participants an opportunity to talk explicitly about expectations of the workplace and each other. After participating in group and individual activities, participants will be able to define the 3 ingredients of a Respectful Workplace, identify relevant workplace policies, and apply three strategies for responding to disrespectful behaviour.
Module 2: Building Stronger Communication Most employees avoid difficult conversations or pass the problem off to the manager, so dealing with it well does not come easily or naturally. This module builds participants' confidence and skills in having difficult conversations by applying our STRAIGHT TALK® conversation framework. Through exercises and roleplaying, your employees will learn to handle challenging responses, receive feedback respectfully, and recognize when to get help from within your organization
