Respect – 10 Point ACTION PLAN


1. Promote your values. What are the Respect values in your organisation? How do you define fundamental ‘British’ values? And how is all of this made real in the day-to-day workplace? Send an email to all staff confirming your organisations values.

2. Become more inclusive. Make a conscious effort to reach out and work with all of those in your organisation – especially those who could feel excluded in anyway, be it by ethnicity, position, race, current role, religion, job insecurity, culture, etc.

3. Deliver Respect in practice. Emails are consistently one of the biggest areas of concern for lack of Respect amongst staff. Review your workplace communications – email, meetings and the way staff sometimes speak to each other.

4. Update (or write) your Respect Policy. Make sure your organisation has a Respect policy, create a clear Respect strategy and plan – and then define behaviours, standards and key activities.

5. Provide training in Respect for your staff. How high is Respect on your training priorities? Do your staff understand ‘the golden rule’ or the ‘ethic of reciprocity’? If you only book ONE HALF DAY of training next year make sure it’s in Respect. We can train 8-200 on our most popular half day workshop (see above).

6. Engage all staff. Put Respect and inclusion on the agenda of meetings. Ask staff and colleagues for their views. Encourage them to think about the building positive relationships across the organisation. Build Respect from the bottom up as well as from the top down.

7. Review all organisation literature – including HR policies and procedures. What does your recruitment or appraisal policy for example, say about Respect values and behaviours?

8. Recognise and reward success behaviours. Does recognition go further than sales performance or efficiency targets? Does your working environment value and reward kindness, staff who are supportive of others, community spirit or voluntary work? Promote these successes.

9. Undertake a ‘Respect Audit’. Create your own questionnaires, review policies and systems, carry out surveys and monitor through appraisal interviews or checklists – or use the Diversiton Respect Framework.

10. Take action. Remember Respect starts with each of us. Could we be a little more patient at times, in less of a hurry with others or ask colleagues for their input more? Re-look at the list above, talk about some ideas with your colleagues and take action now …..
