How to Accept Value and Respect Differences in the Workplace
While many people may not realize it, disrespectful behavior in the workplace is bad for the work environment. When people feel offended, embarrassed or humiliated, it hurts work relationships and often lowers productivity. In this workshop, participants will learn how to accept value and respect differences in the workplace.
This one-day workshop is very interactive and dynamic. Individual and team exercises, self-assessments, videos, case studies and role-plays are built in to develop the participant’s skills quickly. The workbook is user friendly and it is a great tool for personal review.
This workshop is offered within organizations for groups of 5 people or more.
