Focused on Everyday Respect - Champions of Change Coalition
A new tool from Champions of Change Coalition, Focused on Everyday Respect, is here to support leaders in tackling a pressing issue in today’s workplaces: understanding respect from multiple perspectives.
In increasingly diverse workplaces, people come with unique backgrounds, experiences, and understandings of what respectful behavior looks like. This diversity enriches the workplace but also introduces challenges. Respect, while a universal value, is often understood and expressed differently by individuals. Focused on Everyday Respect helps bridge these gaps by providing leaders with practical strategies to establish respectful, inclusive environments that honor everyone’s experiences.
