Make Work Better: Tackling Workplace Incivilities for Greater Wellbeing

Workplace incivilities, often tolerated out of politeness, fear, indifference, or the hope that bad behaviour will disappear, are costly for organizations. They also make life miserable, erode workplace well-being and negatively influence careers. In this morning session, we explore the nature of workplace incivilities, their costs, why relationships in fact matter, and concrete things you can do about them.

Join us for an information session by our proud CBC Member Dr. Louise Lambert Editor of the Middle East Journal of Positive Psychology, to hear some of these views, on how to Make Work Better and to tackle workplace incivilities for greater well-being.
