How to Prevent and Handle Workplace Incivility
- Management Seminar
Program Description:
Apparently common courtesy isn’t so common
anymore ...
Workplace incivility — behavior that’s not necessarily meant to cause offense
but often comes across as rude, thoughtless, or simply unprofessional — is a
growing problem for many companies.
Reduce Negativity and Turnover
More than a quarter of employees report they’ve already quit a job because of an
uncivil work environment. Unfortunately, most never report uncivil treatment
because they don’t think it will be taken seriously. Instead, 94% of employees
retaliate ... 66% intentionally decrease their work efforts ... while 26% simply
quit because they aren’t being treated with courtesy and respect.
No wonder incivility and the stress it causes is costing U.S. businesses $300
billion a year. It’s a very expensive but solvable problem and is the reason we
created this unique workshop.
Increase Collaboration and Productivity
Come to this powerful training program, and you’ll discover the fastest, most
effective techniques for targeting these toxic employees and stopping incivility
once and for all. You’ll gain proven strategies for increasing respect and
cooperation between team members (even when they disagree) and see employee
productivity and problem-solving skills soar.
Take your leadership skills to the next level and learn how to build the kind of
positive, high-performing teams that get results — and get noticed for all the
right reasons.
