Respectful Workplace

As an employer, it is your responsibility to create a workplace free from harassment where every employee feels welcome, respected, and valued. During this one-hour workshop for all employees, we tailor the discussion to your organization’s culture and industry. We will discuss the following: your organization’s anti-harassment policy; other policies that relate to workplace harassment; the importance of creating a workplace culture of respect that goes beyond mere compliance; and every employee’s role in making sure your organization fosters an environment of belonging for everyone.


Many states have adopted laws requiring anti-harassment training. These states mandate specific elements that must be included in the training, including content, format, and length for the training. If you have employees in states other than Wisconsin, we can customize to reflect state-specific requirements, or we can design a stand-alone workshop for your out-of-state employees.

lead through change & emerge stronger

Preparing Your Workplace for What Lies Ahead

Most employers are not returning to the pre-pandemic normal, instead, we are all looking toward a “new normal.” For many of us, this may include a hybrid work environment with some work being done in the office and other work completed virtually. In this workshop, we consider what this means for your organization. We gain insight from your team to understand what worked well during the crisis and how to incorporate that insight into your new work environment. We also discuss worker safety requirements and recommendations and managing a hybrid work environment.

Managing Performance During a Crisis & Beyond

Working during a crisis presents many challenges – jobs change, the goals shift, your work site might be closed, childcare might not be available, and the emotional and mental stress weighs on everyone. Still, managing performance remains imperative. In this workshop, we discuss how to effectively and compassionately manage performance while taking into account the challenges during a crisis, its recovery, and in the post-crisis workplace.

Sustaining Workplace Culture During a Crisis

No matter how small, any crisis diverts precious attention and resources away from your organization’s initiatives. During a crisis, it is critical that employees know they are valued, are kept informed, and are assured that your organization’s culture is alive and well. In this workshop, we discuss how your organization is addressing the crisis, and the tools and strategies for effectively sustaining your culture while the crisis is ongoing.

Culture and Engagement in a Hybrid Environment

With the right tools and strategies, your workplace culture and your employees’ engagement can thrive in a hybrid world. This workshop provides an opportunity to discuss those tools and strategies tailored to maximize your employees’ development and your organization’s culture, mission, and strategic objectives.

Assessing and Managing Your Strategic Plan During a Crisis & Beyond

A crisis often challenges an organization’s strategic plan. Are your strategic goals still relevant? Has your mission shifted because of the crisis? Are your employees working different hours or performing different duties? Is your timeline realistic? Has your funding or profit margin changed? Have your management team and employees been able to consider the strategic plan since the crisis started? Once practices are in place to protect your employees’ safety and wellness, it is important to review your strategic plan. In this workshop, we help your organization reassess its strategic plan, evaluating which elements need to be revised and which need to be reinforced to successfully navigate a changed landscape.
