Stay up to date with Respect At Work
“Silence is golden, but sometimes it’s just plain yella”
Your input, your voice and your ears are powerful tools that contribute to the culture that you want, and are willing to accept.
Do you have a mentor?
Asking someone to be my mentor is surely a sign of flattery and likely would be a win-win situation for us both.
Are you supportive? Always?
It's easy to be supportive of our friends or when it suits us, my responsibility as an employee is to exercise duty of care for ALL of my workmates, ALL of the time — this starts with support and respect.
Integrity wins
Respect needs trust, trust needs respect and personal integrity should be at the forefront.
Do you add or subtract the energy from the room?
Give people enough support, respect and kindness that they can see past the small energy sapping negatives.
Mentally Healthy Workplaces
I struggle to understand how little regard some workers have for others — compassion really shouldn't be difficult.
R U Ok? from the Dog
Let's treat others with the compassion that we would like to receive, we all have vulnerabilities, bad days and periods of high stress and not all of us are lucky enough to have our own Darby.
Respectful Teams - luck or effort?
We are not workplace clones without personalities or peculiarities, we are individuals, who, if we work together, have the capacity to create great teams.
Respectfully, I disagree..
Conflict is healthy. So, a workplace conversation between parties that don't agree should be easy and comfortable — shouldn't it?
The privilege of respect
We assume that respect and empathy come easily to all of us and all we need is gentle reminders - but how true is that?
Taking a leaf from school kids and Bullying. No Way!
Perhaps as adults we should take a leaf from the school kids and the Bullying. No Way! campaign.
Can I respect someone I don’t like?
In our personal friendship groups we can choose who we spend time with but what about in our professional lives?
Bystanders
What we choose to do as a bystander in these situations can make a huge difference to the parties involved.
