Our employees want respect.  They want a civil and safe work environment.  The polarizing effects of politics and pandemics have resulted in hostility and incivility across our society and in our work places.  The cost incivility to employers is high and includes lost revenue, sick time, and turnover.  Cultivating a work environment of respect and civility is a top priority for HR leaders. This session provides participants with practical recommendation to engage in difficult conversations and promote a civil work environment.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify effects of incivility on worker performance
