Many cases of incivility are simply the result of lack of knowledge and/or practice of skills needed to navigate the workplace in a respectful and considerate fashion. 

Companies are encouraged to regularly raise awareness on the costs of incivility, as well as keep employees trained in civility-related concepts such as gender sensitivity, harassment in the workplace, stress management, conflict management, and workplace etiquette. 

This is a 4-hour, instructor hosted, self-pace course, containing twelve (12) modules consisting of ten (10) audio with text lessons, module quizzes, worksheets, handouts, surveys and instructor/course host videos) plus a bonus e-Textbook for your future reference.
