SHRM’s Post

This insightful piece from SHRM is worth a quick reflection on the power of civility in the workplace. 🌟 This video underscores the importance of transforming conflict into constructive dialogue, emphasizing deeper listening and understanding. This simple message resonates with me as it champions the essence of caring for one another, valuing diverse perspectives, and nurturing an environment where every voice is heard and respected. As we strive for excellence in our respective roles, let's not forget that the quality of our interactions forms the backbone of our collective success. To my global colleagues let's turn every conversation into an opportunity for growth and positive change. #CivilityatWork #PositiveConversations #WorkplaceCulture

How is your organization handling #CivilityAtWork? SHRM recently released their #CivilityatWork 1 million civil conversations challenge. This week's #FindingTheWords by Carrie Fox reflects on how incivility at work is an intensifying reality. It can get the better of us and bring out the worst in us. This week, practice “ventilating your soul with tenderness,” and work to create spaces that foster civil conversation and muscle building. Read on to learn more about how we approach civility at work and how you can model this behavior in your workplace: https://lnkd.in/er5e9sgc #Communications #SocialImpact #CourageousLeadership

Carrie, completely agree with your article and will highlight the point you make to: "recognize that civility is like any muscle in our body: when it isn’t activated, it will atrophy." It's as simple (not so simple) as knowing that you don't start off as a marathoner, you first have to run one mile then 5 miles then build up to more. You get sore and think about giving up. But you focus on the goal and finally, after much work, complete the marathon. Civility is a muscle to develop by trying a little bit at a time until you can really go the distance. Will it at times be hard? yep. Is it totally worth it? yep.

SHRM's recent study reveals a startling truth: incivility is all too common in our daily lives and workplaces. With a Civility Index score of just 42.3 out of 100, it's clear that we need to take action to foster more respectful and empathetic environments. Let's be catalysts for change and join SHRM in starting 1 million civil conversations in the workplace and beyond. By embracing civility, we can create spaces where individuals and businesses thrive. #CivilityAtWork

Civil conversations need to happen at all levels. No one is exempt. This is a great learning tool to encourage yourself and your teams to reflect and be more intentional about their interactions with all stakeholders.

In our roles as HR we might mediate civil conversations as part of our daily responsibilities, we however also have the opportunity to model civil conversation in our everyday conversation at work. These are great practices for work or home... Anything you'd change or add? #civilconversation #SHRM
