FAQ’s

Will this training make a difference?

A respectful and positive workplace culture helps to reduce workplace stress, incivility and conflict and increase productivity, innovation and resilience.

If your workplace culture is less than pleasant and your workplace communication and productivity are affected, our training sessions provide reminders, promote personal responsibility and develop simple strategies to help.

Workplace values are not always interpreted the same way for every individual, in our training sessions we ask your team how they want to feel at work and then unpack the words they are using, for example what do they mean by ‘feeling appreciated or valued’?

Training sessions are not band-aids for poor workplace cultures but they do engage and remind your teams of the culture they desire and are entitled to and of their responsibility to think about their own workplace behaviours.

- Have you ever lost valuable workplace productivity within your team due to basic disrespect, inappropriate communication, gossip or 'personality clashes'?

Respect, like any value, needs to be worked on. Respectful cultures don't just happen, they rely on respectful relationships and at times we can all forget what is respectful and compassionate behaviour at work.
Respect at Work works with your teams, presenting engaging and interactive training sessions that provide the reflection and reminders to give your team a culture re-boot.
