TrainingBriefs® Creating a Respectful Workplace

Joking, Stereotypes & Workplace Respect

Having fun at work is okay, but playing to stereotypes - even when it’s meant as just a joke - isn’t funny. It could be perceived as ridicule, and if that happens, it could be seen as creating a hostile environment. As a manager, it's important to quickly address inappropriate workplace behavior before it turns into a larger issue for the organization.

Additional Information

When it comes right down to it, creating a respectful workplace is a great way to maximize productivity, create a sense of belonging and retain our best talent. Joking and making assumptions or stereotypes about our coworkers, vendors or customers creates distrust and disrespect.
