Incivility in the workplace has become a growing challenge. Rudeness, disrespect, and workplace tension are becoming all too common. Offensive actions, impolite language, and outright rudeness aren’t confined to social media—they’re showing up in our offices, crew meetings, and day-to-day interactions. Whether it's unreturned messages, interrupted meetings, or subtle dismissals, these behaviors chip away at morale, teamwork, and trust. According to the Society for Human Resource Management, two out of three workers have witnessed or experienced incivility in just the past month. We can do better—and it starts with building a culture where respect is modeled, expected, and supported.

After a workplace incident, it’s crucial that you take action, because getting to the root of the problem is a key step in prevention. During this resource-driven webinar, we work through an effective incident analysis to find the causes. Who should attend? You, your supervisors, and any employee who has an interest in the safety of their work environment (that means anyone and everyone!).

Conflict at work is unavoidable — but damage from conflict is not.

Every workplace experiences disagreement: misunderstandings, personality differences, competing priorities, or conversations that simply go sideways. The difference between healthy teams and struggling teams isn’t the absence of conflict — it’s how people respond when it happens.

This training will equip you with essential techniques to transform workplace disagreements into opportunities for growth, focusing on active listening, managing emotions, and finding mutual solutions through strategies like separating people from problems, focusing on interests over positions, and fostering open dialogue — ultimately boosting productivity, strengthening teams, and creating a more positive environment.
