Civility is more important than ever because it's the foundation
of all things that we want to have making it again a reality
in our workplaces.
That dialogue, civility, inclusivity and belonging really
matter.
I am super excited to be here in Austin because it's here that
we're launching our 1,000,000 Civil Conversations campaign.
Civility is at the foundation of the culture of organizations and
we all have a chance to change that and make it better.
What we've done is build an entire campaign around how we
can help our companies, ourselves, and our communities
have a different view, a better view of what we can do for
civility.
There are 161 million people who work in this country every day,
so a million seems like a drop in the bucket.
But we got to start somewhere.
This is becoming more and more visible.
SHRM decided to engage in this activity to help increase that
visibility for the impact that civility could have, not just in
our workplace, but more broadly in our society as well.
It's a good idea, I think, that we're after here. Now we need all
of you to help execute that by engaging in these 1,000,000
civil conversations.
And yes, we are counting.
