Disrespect at work is more common than most people realize — and more costly than most organizations want to admit. Research from HR Acuity found that more than half of employees have witnessed or experienced bullying, harassment, or discrimination at work. McKinsey's decade-long research shows that organizations that actively cultivate respect and diversity consistently outperform those that do not.
This course gives you the practical skills to change that dynamic — in yourself, in your team, and in your organization.
Dr. Don Gilman draws on more than 30 years of organizational consulting and leadership development to guide you through six core capability areas: defining and recognizing disrespectful behavior; identifying and interrupting unconscious bias; navigating workplace power dynamics; managing strong emotions under pressure; intervening as an empowered bystander; and building the daily habits that make genuine respect and diversity sustainable.
Each module combines video instruction with AI-powered practice activities so you do not just read about these skills — you practice them in realistic workplace scenarios.
By the end of this course, you will have the vocabulary, the frameworks, and the specific tools to make your workplace more respectful, more inclusive, and more effective.
