Operationalize Civility at Your Agency
Agencies that are looking to change behavior should not focus on stopping illegal behaviors to create a civil workplace culture. Leaders must also focus on reducing inappropriate and unprofessional behaviors to positively impact the overall agency culture and mission.
The EEOC has recognized that to effectively eliminate the bad behavior and incivility in a workplace, an agency must link daily behavior to mission effectiveness and organizational values. This method is the most effective in operationalizing civility and in having lasting change on the workplace culture and drive results.
In this interactive session, attendees will be provided with practical daily tips to create a civil workplace environment that won’t cost anything.
