Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): It’s Time to Talk – Civility is Disappearing and We’re all Paying the Price
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is hosting an It’s Time to Talk: Civility is Disappearing – And We’re all Paying the Price webinar on Wednesday, August 6th, starting at 1:00 PM.
August is National Civility Month, and according to SHRM’s Q2 2025 Civility Index, the average American worker experiences at least one act of incivility every single day. That’s more than 223 million acts of rudeness, dismissal, or disrespect — daily. In the workplace alone, incivility costs organizations over $2 billion a day in lost productivity, absenteeism, and stress. We must find basic human decency — the kind we learned in kindergarten and forgot somewhere along the way. We’ve normalized interrupting, shaming, side-eyeing, ghosting, and gaslighting. We confuse honesty with cruelty, disagreement with disdain. We scream online and shut down in real life. Enough.
Join us for an open forum that’s not a panel and not a keynote, but definitely raw. This is a frank, honest, maybe even uncomfortable conversation about how we claw our way back to civility — starting in our workplaces and starting with ourselves.
