RESPECT LIVES HERE - Aretha Franklin sings about it. The Golden Rule teaches it. Wikipedia defines it. We've all heard of it, but what really is respect? Respect is what allows us to appreciate the best in ourselves as well in other people. It is trusting that the people with whom we work have done their jobs and fulfilled their duties. It is recognizing and appreciating the inherent dignity and worth of all people. Respect seems like common sense, but it is not always common practice. Lack of respect can destroy an organization. With a diverse workforce, creating a culture of respect is a challenge and it's not always easy to put into practice. RESPECT LIVES HERE, Blue Tower's newest interactive workshop, focuses on a greater understanding of the importance of respect for oneself and others, and creating a workplace culture which embrace mutual respect among everyone in order to achieve extraordinary results as a team.
