Dignity is central to our humanity and enhancing dignity in the workplace creates psychological safety so people can do their best work.
But we live in stressful, unpredictable times and this can often lead to behavior and conditions that erode or violate the dignity of ourselves and others, creating an environment where more energy goes into protection than contribution.
Please join us for a rich, interactive exploration into what dignity is, why it's important, and how we can enhance it with tangible strategies and repair it when violations occur.
