At Elite HR Team, respect is a value that requires constant attention. For us, respect is expecting personal and professional interactions to show consideration for the other and always respecting others and ourselves in our interactions and choice of words.
We strive constantly to embody respect by listening to the needs of our clients and prospective clients by developing and offering solutions when we can, but also referring out when the problem is not an area that we have the expertise to solve.
Respect is intimately related to the achieving results portion of our company vision. Just as we recognize that you want to focus on the parts of your business that you love, while we focus on the human resources aspects, we have partnered with businesses in various industries, such as payroll, accounting, IT, attorneys, CPAs, etc., because they deal with the financial or technical sides of your business. No matter what your needs, if there are areas that need improvement, come to us! We will either help, or point you in the right direction. After, all we respect your time, and if we can save time searching for the right support system, we will!
Our team is on your team, because when small businesses are successful we are successful. That's how we show respect.
We've shared why we feel respect is key to our vision for our future, please share how or if respect plays a role in your company, team, or work group. Watch the video below and make sure to leave your comments! We look forward to learning from you!
Five Tactics to Create a Culture of Respect
- Create an inclusive work environment. Only by recognizing and respecting individual differences and qualities can your organization fully realize its potential. If you haven't completed Diversity Awareness Training, you should consider offering it yearly.
- Understand your triggers or “hot buttons.” We spend more time with coworkers than our own families sometimes. Allowing minor annoyances to build can negatively affect the work environment.
- Take responsibility for your actions and practice self-restraint and anger management skills in responding to potential conflicts.
- View today’s difficult situations from a broader (big picture) and more realistic perspective by considering what they mean in the overall scheme of things.
- "Each one influence one” by becoming a bridge builder and role model for civility and respect. Act in a manner whereby you respect yourself, demonstrate respect for others, and take advantage of every opportunity to be proactive in promoting civility and respect in your workplace.
