We believe that respect and civility are the cornerstones of a productive, harmonious workplace. In today’s fast-paced work environment, it’s easy to overlook the small gestures and behaviors that contribute to a civil atmosphere. But we don’t believe that workplace rudeness and negativity should ever be the norm. Choose Civility is an interactive, hands-on workshop designed to transform the way individuals interact at work by cultivating mutual respect, self-awareness, and empathy.
Imagine a work environment where every interaction is built on trust, where disagreements are handled respectfully, and where everyone feels valued. Because positive workplace culture matters, this workshop will help your team discover the power of civility and how it can enhance both personal satisfaction and organizational success.
We believe that civil behavior sets the tone for every workplace. Without it, productivity suffers, team morale declines, and relationships are strained. When people feel disrespected or unappreciated, they disengage and their contributions diminish. In contrast, a culture of civility fosters collaboration, innovation, and a positive work environment. Civility isn’t just about being polite—it’s about acknowledging the humanity of others and creating an atmosphere of mutual respect.
We don’t believe in allowing incivility to erode workplace dynamics. During this workshop, participants will acknowledge how their behavior impacts others and take active steps to cultivate a more civil, productive work culture.
Acknowledge the Importance of Civility
Because respect matters, you’ll begin by discussing why civil behavior is crucial for both personal well-being and organizational success. This sets the stage for understanding how a respectful atmosphere can drive performance and happiness at work.
Discuss the Consequences of Incivility
Rude behavior, even when unintentional, has long-lasting effects on workplace dynamics. You’ll explore how uncivil behavior impacts individuals, teams, and the organization as a whole. We don’t believe in letting these behaviors go unchecked.
Reflect on Your Own Behavior
We believe that self-awareness is the first step toward change. In this workshop, you’ll take an honest look at your own behavior, admitting when you’ve been uncivil and analyzing the factors that led to those choices.
Understand the Impact of Your Choices
You’ll delve into the consequences of negative behavior, both on yourself and others. By understanding the ripple effect of incivility, you’ll gain insight into why behavior matters and how it can shape workplace culture.
Recognize Defensiveness Chains
Because breaking the cycle of negativity matters, you’ll explore how defensiveness creates chains of unproductive behavior. Recognizing these patterns is key to replacing them with more constructive responses.
Choose Constructive, Civil Behaviors
You’ll practice identifying civil behavioral responses to situations that might previously have triggered rudeness. Learn how to shift your perspective and respond with kindness, empathy, and understanding.
Find Your Motivation to Change
We believe that change comes from within. What would motivate you to be more civil, even in tough situations? You’ll reflect on your own motivations and how they align with your professional and personal goals.
Commit to a Civility Code of Conduct
As a group, participants will establish and commit to a civility code of conduct for the workplace. This shared commitment fosters accountability and reinforces the importance of maintaining a respectful environment.
Write a Personal Action Plan
Because action matters, you’ll leave this workshop with a Personal Action Plan designed to implement more civil behavior on the job. Your plan will help you hold yourself accountable and ensure that your new behaviors take root.
This workshop is more than just learning—it’s about creating a culture shift. We believe that every individual has the power to make a difference, and by choosing civility, you can transform your workplace for the better. Imagine a team where mutual respect is the norm, where misunderstandings are resolved with empathy, and where everyone feels valued. That’s the kind of workplace we believe in, and we believe you can help create it.
