We sat down for a conversation with two familiar faces from the Hearts and Hands conference—Dr. Heather Cooke and Rhonda Croft. We talked with Heather and Rhonda about an issue that can be difficult to talk about—workplace civility. We learn what incivility is and how to identify and address it. Simple tips from Heather and Rhonda can support positive workplaces and minimize the impact of incivility. Click the audio clip below to hear the conversation.

Psychological health and well-being play an important role in our work and in our personal life. Our Workplace Civility Toolkit, created by Dr. Heather Cooke and other healthcare experts, is a practical resource that can tackle incivility and create a more positive workplace. Learn more about the impact of incivility, walk-through scenarios based on real events, and learn strategies that will help make your organization a great place to work.

Kindness to your colleagues goes a long way to improving workplace culture and contributes to a more welcoming environment.

Being kind often has a ripple effect that builds momentum across an organization.
