Building Respectful Work Relationships​

This one-day skill-building participant-centered workshop is designed to enable participants to recognize that if they want to work in a comfortable and cooperative environment, then they need to realize that they can “teach” people how to treat them. This begins with learning to respect and accept themselves- because if they don’t, why should anyone else? Then, if they want to be treated with respect, they need to model the interpersonal behaviors that they want others to use with them: (1) listen well; (2) express thoughts and feelings clearly; (3) constructively handle negative feelings; and (4) be authentic. This participatory workshop will give participants an opportunity to develop and practice these behaviors, so that they can create healthier and more respectful working relationships.
