President’s Message Just be nice! Something I have yelled at one or more
of my children when I can’t take anymore fighting and
tattling.
Seems simple enough, right? Yet we still have this
issue in the workplace today. In a recent survey com-
pleted by The Johns Hopkins University and the Jacob
France Institute of the University of Baltimore, eight of
the top ten bad behaviors in the workplace did not rise
to a legal issue. Meaning employees are upset and
leaving companies, not because they are treated in a way that violates the
law, but because people just aren’t nice.
Here are a few of the top ten answers:
People who behave aggressively or who bully others;
Taking credit for someone else’s work;
Talking on a cell phone or texting mid-conversation or during a meeting;
Treating service providers as inferiors; and
Misusing handicapped privileges.
The Workplace Bullying Institute says 60% of employees are stressed out at
work due to uncivil behavior. Not because of safety issues, lack of controls
or audit findings, but because people just aren’t being nice.
At the April monthly meeting, Pattye Moore spoke about being the leader
