Civil and respectful behavior in the workplace goes beyond encouraging “please” and “thank you”.   Civility in the workplace supports an employer’s anti-harassment and anti-bullying policies, as well as supporting the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion.  The National Labor Relations Board endorsed workplace civility as providing “common sense” standards of conduct to promote “harmonious interactions and relationships” amongst employees.  We will review aspects of civility and the negative business consequences of uncivil behavior.  We will also discuss 3 types of microaggression and how these acts will have a detrimental impact on a charter school. 

We will provide resources to help a charter school encourage a civil and respectful work environment.  These resources include a civility policy template, employee training handouts, supervisor discipline forms to address uncivil behavior and best practice recommendations to develop professional working relationships amongst your staff.
