Stay up to date with Respect At Work
Respectful Workplace Culture eLearning
Just like my face-to-face training I prefer eLearning that feels real rather than rule‑heavy, so these modules use everyday scenarios instead of long lists of dos and don’ts.
How are you ending 2025?
How are your workplace relationships this December? Are you craving some time off away from work pressures and work colleagues?
Respect at Work is 8
It’s birthday month once again, that makes this our 85th blog/respectful insight since December 2017
Can I respect someone I don’t like?
In our personal friendship groups we can choose who we spend time with but what about in our professional lives?
The privilege of respect (re-shared from April 2018)
We assume that respect and empathy come easily to all of us and all we need is gentle reminders - but how true is that?
The respect dance
It’s been a busy and reflectful couple of months at my house. Not only has there been the usual fun and coordination of summer activity - balancing socialising with work, but my father-in-law also moved in with us in December.
Unpacking respect
My neighbour is a primary school teacher, chatting the other day she said that in her class every morning begins with a discussion about respect. How great is that!
Respect - is there a universal definition?
Respect is always simply about acknowledging and valuing others with consideration and without judgement.
Personal accountability
It’s easy to get caught up complaining about the behaviour of others but how often do we shine the spotlight on own behaviour?
Coaching and Respectful Workplaces
Good coaching is an investment in people, and I see great coaching in workplaces that value and appreciate their staff.
Respect and Diversity
Our world will never stop being diverse, by investing in (and respecting) diversity and inclusion you are putting your best foot forward and staying ahead of the game.

Disrespect and bullying
How do you distinguish between disrespect and bullying? I don’t think you do – disrespect can easily form part (or possibly all) of a bullying complaint.
Practicing what I preach
I wish that respect was something once gained and never lost.
I wish that respect (both self-respect and for others) was always easy no matter what mood we might be in.
Pass it on
Employees who feel respected in the workplace are happier, more present and more engaged.
Employees who feel disrespected in the workplace are more likely to be resentful, disengaged and looking to take their talents elsewhere.
Do you have a mentor?
Asking someone to be my mentor is surely a sign of flattery and likely would be a win-win situation for us both.
Do you add or subtract the energy from the room?
Give people enough support, respect and kindness that they can see past the small energy sapping negatives.
