Developing a Respectful Workplace: Top Tips

Respect is an essential part of any good workplace. Colleagues are more motivated and productive when they feel safe and supported. It creates a fair and friendly environment in which everyone feels included and able to give their best. When colleagues respect each other, they can work more effectively together. This is because they trust each other and know that any problems can be solved without conflict. They feel more confident about making suggestions as they know that their input will be taken seriously. They are also much less likely to quit their job.

In this course we go through our five top tips for developing a respectful workplace. Firstly, we look at how to encourage and support others. Then we teach learners how to behave in a way that’s inclusive, so everyone feels like part of the team.

We then look at how to listen well, so that all voices are heard. After that, we focus on the importance of taking a no tolerance attitude to abuse and harassment. Finally, we look at ways to build trust to develop and maintain respect. This microlearning course is an animated video, with audio narration and a multiple-choice post-assessment.
