Respecting Different Employee Values

A lack of social awareness can create negative working relationships among employees. "Harmless" jokes or comments might actually be offensive to others, especially around politically sensitive topics. Social awareness of employees values is key to creating a culture where people can think differently and still work well together.

This microlesson demonstrates how co-workers can wander into a conversation using unwelcome conduct, almost by accident, and without being socially aware of another employee's values and/or opposite beliefs. While the comments and points of view are not meant to intentionally hurt anyone and will differ from one another, the impact on another person can be just as bad.
