Respect is needed in the workplace because surveys confirm that disrespect is a major problem, while respect is a highly regarded trait of leaders. Equity, diversity and inclusion are important matters to be addressed if employers wish to be seen as concerned, caring. and fair in a globalised world. There are many benefits of respect, and considerable costs linked to disrespect. Respect creates a positive, fair, caring, and inclusive workplace. A good reputation is essential if the business wants to attract competent managers, loyal customers and talented employees to run the business successfully in the future.
