Our workplaces have changed in recent years. Whether it is because more employees work from home, different generations are working together, or it is getting harder and harder to attract and retain top talent, our workplaces feel challenging. Supervisors often report they feel like they are walking on eggshells to avoid upsetting or offending anyone . The response, whether too lenient or too rigid, leaves everyone feeling on edge and often unable or unwilling to put forth the effort to improve workplace culture. A free for all, a place where behavior has no consequences, is not the answer.
