Leading civility in the workplace
Overview
Healthy and respectful workplace cultures do not happen by chance; they are shaped every day by leaders who set the tone, respond constructively to poor behaviour and create conditions where people feel safe, valued and able to contribute.
Using recognisable scenarios for reflection, discussion and application, this practical workshop explores how to lead civility with both strength and sensitivity: the confidence to name and challenge unhelpful behaviour, and the care to do so in ways that preserve dignity, trust and learning in the workplace.
As One Welsh Public Service, we have a shared purpose and shared drivers to achieve a better and lasting quality of life for us all.
