Elevating Business and People Through Business Etiquette
The Impact of Civility and Business Etiquette
According to a study by Harvard Business Review, teams that practice civility and respect experience a 26% increase in productivity and a 13% increase in engagement.
Georgetown University research found that 98% of employees have experienced incivility in the workplace, with 50% reporting decreased work effort as a result.
Companies that emphasize professional decorum and civility have 47% lower turnover rates than organizations that place less emphasis on these values.
A SHRM survey revealed that one-third of employees leave their jobs due to disrespectful work environments, highlighting the importance of fostering workplace civility.
“Civility is not a passive act of kindness but a deliberate strategy of strength. It is the foundation on which enduring respect, trust, and success are built, transforming every interaction into a testament of professionalism and human decency.”
