It's all too easy to let common workplace courtesy and business etiquette go by the wayside, especially during busy or hard times. However, doing so is a huge mistake.

If employees fail to show respect for one another's ideas, opinions, space, and mental and physical health, teamwork, collaboration, productivity and innovation suffer. If that's not bad enough, when people witness others' rude behavior, they are much more likely to act rudely themselves. So one person's bad habits can have a ripple effect through the whole team.

Conversely, when respect and courtesy are core values, teams flourish. Employees feel that their time and ideas are valued by management and their co-workers. They are more likely to step in and lend a hand when needed, and they care about the success of the team and organization. Their loyalty is strong as is their commitment to meeting their goals. They're happier and healthier and, therefore, more productive.

There's little question that a courteous workplace is the ideal workplace, but how do you transform yours into one? Start by following the advice presented in this training kit.
