Are You a Catalyst for Civility?   Another contentious election cycle is underway, and the effects of increasingly negative campaigning—and divisive rifts in society writ large—are likely to spill into the workplace. Uncivil behavior at work has become commonplace. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. workers said that they have experienced or witnessed incivility in their workplace within the past month. And one-third of workers believe that workplace conflict will increase over the next 12 months. Workers who rate their workplace as uncivil are more than three times as likely to be dissatisfied with their job than those who rate their workplace as civil. They are more than twice as likely to leave their job in the next year and are significantly less likely to say their organization supports innovative actions. What's more, workers who have experienced or witnessed incivility at work are less likely to feel psychologically safe at work and less likely to believe they can share their honest thoughts in the workplace. SHRM knows that people and businesses work best when civility is prioritized and practiced. By engaging in open and civil conversations, workers at all levels and across all industries can encourage inclusion, bridge divides and build understanding. Together, we can make the world a better place, one conversation at a time.
