Respect is the act of treating others with gratitude and dignity, or expressing appreciation for their characteristics. In the workplace, respect for others should be expected regardless of one's own feelings towards another person.
All employees, regardless of seniority, need to understand the value of respect in the workplace. Building a respectful workplace is essential to creating a positive work atmosphere. When there is mutual respect among coworkers, everyone feels appreciated for their accomplishments, skills, and attributes.
According to a Harvard Business Review survey involving 20,000 workers, the most influential behaviour that fosters increased dedication and involvement is respect. Respect and value are important factors in creating a healthy work environment where motivated individuals are happy, devoted and driven to give their all. Workers who don't treat people with respect are unprofessional and a risk to the prosperity and wellbeing of their organisation.
