Respectful Workplace

Everyone benefits when we show each other respect. We never discriminate, harass, or bully others in our workplace. As Rethinkers, it’s part of our culture not only to be respectful of the opinions of our colleagues, but also to be inclusive of new ideas, backgrounds, and experiences. When we respect one another — we all Win Together.

Rethink It: Respecting Every Rethinker

Remember that part of creating a respectful environment depends upon creating positive and trusting relationships between employees and supervisors. If you manage employees, be sure to:

Model the behavior you expect from those you supervise
Be a good listener
Invite employees to come to you if they have concerns and make it clear that Rethink welcomes honest dialogue

Rethinkers...

Know and avoid behavior that someone may find insulting, hurtful, or exclusionary

Don’t treat others in a way that they could perceive as bullying or humiliating

Leave sexually explicit materials, jokes, or conversations out of the work environment
