Disrespectful and uncivil behavior is on the rise in the workplace, costing businesses millions in lost productivity, lower quality and employee turnover. To address this growing problem, in this workshop we’ll examine the concept of civil and respectful behavior and some of the possible reasons behind the trend.

Building Effective Teams in the Public Sector
Wednesday, April 13, 2022
Herzing University, 8:30 a.m.- 3:15 p.m.
Organizations thrive, or fail to thrive, based on how well the teams within those organizations work. High performance arises when teams are encouraged to take risks, fail, and learn from those small failures, a process some call "teaming." Leaders can create the right environment for teaming and encourage individual team members to speak up, collaborate, experiment, and reflect. Extraordinary teams cultivate an exciting, collaborative environment that is built upon mutual trust, respect, and engagement. Cost $225.
