Increasing Respect in the Workplace^®

Two-Day Program

Increasing Respect in the Workplace^® is one of the Most Powerful Processes for Fostering Long-Term, Positive Behavior Change in the workplace. As the workforce becomes increasingly diverse, organizations need employees who demonstrate flexibility and respect. Respectful workplace behaviors allow organizations to motivate and retain top talent, build cooperative teams, generate creativity, and maintain a competitive edge. EdgeOhio’s Increasing Respect in the Workplace^® helps organizations learn to thrive in the workplace of tomorrow by attracting a diverse talent pool.

IRW^® promotes respect in the workplace behaviors through a unique process.

This professional development workshop offers a new definition of respect – one rooted in the active pursuit of information about people who differ from the seeker. This collection and sharing of information, in and of itself, demonstrates regard for the other person… an essential component of respectful interaction. Respect is an ongoing behavior pattern that promotes increased awareness and acceptance of differences in individuals’ beliefs, styles and backgrounds, as well as their physical, ancestral, geographic or socio-economic makeup. Respect is the process and vehicle that allows unique people to engage and work with other unique people in a manner that benefits all. Our Increasing Respect in the Workplace^® program helps participants understand how respect drives business results by allowing all employees to reach their full potential and make maximum contributions.

IRW^® improves your employees’ ability to work successfully with anyone, regardless of background, job status or any other difference, by developing their respectful workplace self-management skills. Increasing Respect in the Workplace^® shows your people how to actively promote and accept ideas that are different from their own. This is NOT another “mandatory diversity training program.” It is an interactive experience that shows employees how increasing respect in the workplace through their behaviors enhances the business and enriches them personally as well.

Attract and retain the best people. Let’s face it—tomorrow’s workplace will not look like yesterday’s. Talented, educated people, from diverse backgrounds have much more choice then ever before. And more often than not, they’re choosing to work in organizations that not only appreciate, but encourage diversity.

The two-day Increasing Respect in the Workplace^® curriculum consists of facilitated video modules, open discussions, small group activities and reflective writing exercises.
