Disrespectful behavior in the workplace has a measurable impact on employees’ cognitive, creative and collaborative capacity as well as their sense of well-being. Yet, occasional rudeness is also the type of behavior we are most likely to excuse when we witness it. When this behavior goes unchecked it undermines the culture of an organization and the health and wellbeing of individuals and it can escalate into abusive behaviors.
In this session, Nicole Nevarez and Dr. Andrea Jacobs from Ta’amod will identify the most common types of disrespectful workplace behavior that undermine psychological safety and contribute to an unhealthy workplace culture and then focus on intervention strategies. Together, we’ll explore practices organizational leaders can apply when we experience or witness problematic behaviors.
This session will be recorded and available to view upon request. If you have any questions, please contact info@srenetwork.org.
