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

What if we were all a bit more civil? In our current climate, fostering respect and constructive dialogue is crucial, both in the workplace and beyond. We know that individuals and businesses thrive when civility is embraced, which is why SHRM is starting 1 Million Civil Conversations. Let's make civility the common language that unites us all. #CivilityAtWork Credit SHRM

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.

Journey along with Juan Taveras, the HR and diversity champion with a heart as big as his expertise. Juan shares the rich tapestry of his Dominican roots and New York City upbringing in a candid conversation that traces the intricate pathways to creating workplaces that not only welcome diversity, but thrive on it.

We wade through the strategic waters of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), as Juan emphasizes the importance of cultural audits and genuine listening to anchor an organization's DEI strategy. His original idea, DEI Profinder, matches companies with consultants who resonate with their cultural frequencies based on the qualities that make an outstanding DEI consultant. Designed to strike a chord with those eager to transform their workplaces into a mosaic of talent and perspectives, this episode offers a masterclass for HR leaders looking to weave DEI into their company's very fabric. Juan discusses psychological safety as a cornerstone of employee engagement and retention. His leadership strategies can propel a workplace from just productive to profoundly inclusive. As we conclude, Juan shares his blueprint for leveraging platforms like LinkedIn to facilitate meaningful conversations and share knowledge, including the role of social media in amplifying DEI.

90 days ago, SHRM put forth the challenge to start 1 million civil conversations in the workplace and beyond… How is your team doing? There are plenty of opportunities to practice civility in the workplace, whether it's discussing policies, giving constructive feedback or having difficult conversations with a colleague. Recently, two of my colleagues did a great job practicing civility. One team member shared their opinion on a local ballot measure, while the other held the opposite viewpoint. As their conversation grew more intense, they chose to listen to each other's perspectives and ask thoughtful questions. By the end of their discussion, the two reached a point of mutual understanding, even though they still held different opinions. The conversation was enlightening for both of them, and they walked away with new insights. Most importantly, they maintained their respect for each other, demonstrating the power of civil conversations in the workplace. #CivilityAtWork #PolicyNotPolitics #Respect
