'How we treat each other around the office' Conversation Guide [January 2022 Gift]

You've been working from home for over a year. Have you forgotten how to fix a paper jam in the copier down the hall? Or the elevator code for the sixth floor? Or maybe how pants without elastic waistbands work?

It's not just remembering how the tech operates. You're surrounded by coworkers, and the skills you've learned about proper decorum and acting with professionalism may have gotten a leeeeeeettle rusty.

You're not alone: the rest of the folks at your org are in the same boat. Going back to the workplace after working from home can be quite the adjustment.

That's exactly why y'all need January's free gift for Compliance Design Club Members ...

Broadcat's "How we treat each other around the office" Conversation Guide!

This straightforward manual gives uber-practical guidance on how to keep day-to-day workplace interactions respectful.

Look, we get it. Sometimes colleagues feel like college roommates. And even if you and your roomie can stay up all night watching a Bring it On marathon (don't forget the last two: Bring It On: Fight to the Finish and Bring It On: Worldwide Cheersmack), that same person can get on your LAST NERVE.

That's where this rad guide comes in. It sets out practical standards on interacting with colleagues in a "do this," "not this" format (oh the power of contrasting pairs!), helping your people build judgment and practice the skills of civility and professionalism that may have atrophied during the Great WFH Experiment.

Whether it's being used as a refresher or a full-blown "Respect in the Workplace 101" course, this piece describes how respectful conduct looks in a way that employees can strive for—and be held accountable to. (It also works as a fab coaching tool when folks wander into the "not this" column.)

Not only will you encounter fewer "unprofessional behavior" complaints to your helpline, but you'll see definite improvement in team morale and an uptick in productivity. What more could you ask for?
