Stay up to date with Respect At Work
Stress Less
Research shows that 90% of Australians need to stress less - with 74% of people reporting being stressed from work.
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.

Give people enough support, respect and kindness that they can see past the small energy sapping negatives.
Water is to goldfish as culture is to ..?

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?
Duty of Care
There is NO time in any element of management, where it is ok to sacrifice your duty of care to your staff.
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?
Toxic Workplaces
There is no easy fix, one size fits all branded initiative to carry this to the next stage - the next stage is within the organisation and takes work and commitment.
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.
