Did you know that the EEOC has highlighted "incivility" as a precursor to harassment in the workplace? In response, the EEOC recommends civility training for all employers. Today, many law firms emphasize engagement, retention, inclusion, and mental health—all of which can be significantly enhanced by fostering workplace civility.
Our expert panel will delve into the essence of civility training and its profound impact. We'll explore compelling research validating the imperative need for civility training and delve into the crucial concept of psychological safety.
In the legal profession, civility begins at the top of every organization. However, a significant challenge lies in the promotion criteria –often focused solely on billable hours rather than interpersonal skills. Furthermore, the lack of leadership training exacerbates this issue as individuals transition into leadership roles without adequate preparation.
In addition, we'll provide actionable workplace etiquette tips designed to swiftly enhance workplace civility.
This session is not just informative, it's interactive. Engage in live poll inquiries and complete a self-assessment, enriching your understanding and actively contributing to the discourse.
Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your practice and foster a culture of civility in the legal profession. Register now to secure your spot!
