                                    The Causes and Effects of Workplace Incivility On Employees [Webinar]

      

                    
          
    The Causes and Effects of Workplace Incivility on Employees [Webinar]
This webinar is the first in a two-part series titled Promoting Civility in the Correctional Workplace.

Workplace incivility describes the subtle and obvious behaviors that are generally rude, discourteous, and suggesting of a lack of respect for others. When unchecked, incivility erodes an organization’s culture and adversely impacts the well-being of those who are the targets of uncivil behavior.

Workplace incivility needs to be challenged and talked about openly. Knowing the causes of incivility, its consequences, and how to promote civility in the workplace can help correctional leaders and employees build psychologically safe environments where everyone grows and thrives.

In this interactive webinar, we discuss how incivility both directly and indirectly affects the health of an organization. We do this specifically by focusing on the challenges that people who experience incivility face and the patterns that those who engage in uncivil behavior display. This training will emphasize the benefits of civility and the role that every correctional professional plays in addressing workplace incivility immediately. This learning experience will lay the foundation for the next webinar in the Promoting Civility series, which will introduce best practices for fostering civility in the correctional workplace.

To attend an NIC WebEx Event Center webinar, you need a hands-free telephone, headset or earbuds, and an internet-enabled computer. For optimum learning, be in a quiet place, free from distractions / interruptions, sight-and sound separated from others, where you can concentrate on what is happening during the webinar. A separate office space with a door to close is an ideal setting. Connect to the webinar audio bridge via a hands-free telephone, using earbuds / headset connected to your phone / cell phone so your hands are free to interact with your keyboard. Test your computer system compatibility prior to the webinar here https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html. This is a quick test, and we strongly encourage you do this prior to February 19, 2020. If your browser does not pass the test, contact Webex Technical Support at 1-877-669-1782 and tell them you will be attending an NIC webinar on NIC's Webex site at https://nicmeetings.webex.com. They can help you troubleshoot connectivity issues. NIC recommends consulting with agency / Local IT, as you may encounter pop-up blocking and/or firewall issues that block the NIC Webex webinar url. NIC WebEx webinar sessions are not compatible with smartphones. NIC recommends you connect to the webinar session on a desktop computer, laptop, or a tablet computer.
