Exercise 22
Recommending a Policy on Uncivil Behavior
Assume that your small team comprises your organization's Labor-Management Committee. This e-mail arrives from the CEO:
I read that PepsiCo created a policy to deal with unfriendly behavior on the job, and that sounds like a good idea. When someone's rude, inconsiderate, or shows bad manners, that can ruin your day and ruin your productivity. I know that we have harassment policies, but what about a rudeness policy Put one together, and send it to me.
As a team, write a response recommending an appropriate policy for dealing with uncivil behavior in the workplace.
Hint:
Be sure to define what your organization considers unacceptable behavior, describe the roles of employees and managers in reporting such behaviors, and outline clear guidelines for dealing with violations.
