Workshop: Civility in the workplace
The prevalence and costs of incivility are on the rise in organizations. When employees are exposed to incivility in the workplace, they experience diminished self-control, which in turn creates increased incivility toward co-workers. Incivility does not involve openly hostile behavior, threats or sabotage and therefore doesn’t warrant the same legal attention or sanctions as other forms of mistreatment, such as harassment. Incivility could be as simple as a sarcastic reply to a co-worker’s comment or a perceived rude sentence in an email.
A session on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 from 11 a.m. to noon by ComPsych - Guidance Resources will help you understand why we act less civil today and give some suggestions for making sure you don’t exhibit behaviors that are uncivil.
