Incivility impairs productivity, decreases motivation, and disrupts employees’ cognitive abilities and overall wellbeing. Even just witnessing incivility in the workplace can negatively impact a worker’s performance and creativity. In short, happier employees are more productive employees.
Simply put, civility means being polite and courteous. If you want to take it a little further, it is learning and utilizing healthy communication techniques and treating others not only how you would like to be treated but as THEY would like to be treated.
Use good manners and be polite. Strive to understand your coworkers or those around you. Keep a positive attitude; don’t allow your job or life in general make you jaded. Find common ground with your coworkers; make an effort to find three things you have in common with each one.
