Conversations in the Workplace: Managing Policy, Not Politics in the Workplace
September 10 @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
With the country’s polarization seeping into the workplace, HR faces enormous challenges. While diversity of thought ignites new ideas, creates solutions to problems, and increases organizations’ success, when differences of opinions are touted as absolutes, alienation occurs, relationships are strained, and cultures become unsafe.
While HR or organizations are not responsible for legislating what people think, they are responsible for ensuring that policies honor differences. To ensure a culture of respect, employees need to know how to interact respectfully with others at the inevitable times when political opinions differ, values clash, and relationships are at risk.
Learn how to secure employee buy-in to uphold policies. Equip people with the skills needed to respectfully speak up when behaviors and political differences cross the line of respect.
In this training, you will:
• Implement communication practices that increase safety while building partnership
• De-escalate conflict and create safety at times when opinions differ
• Build more positive and productive working relationships
• Decrease workplace tension and office drama
• Create a workplace culture in which teams love to work
