Preface

What is Courseware?

Welcome to Corporate Training Materials, a completely new training

experience!

Our courseware packages offer you top-quality training materials that

are customizable, user-friendly, educational, and fun. We provide your

materials, materials for the student, PowerPoint slides, and a take-

home reference sheet for the student. You simply need to prepare and

train!

Best of all, our courseware packages are created in Microsoft Office and can be opened using any

version of Word and PowerPoint. (Most other word processing and presentation programs support

these formats, too.) This means that you can customize the content, add your logo, change the color

scheme, and easily print and e-mail training materials.

How Do I Customize My Course?

Customizing your course is easy. To edit text, just click and type as you would with any document. This is

particularly convenient if you want to add customized statistics for your region, special examples for

your participants’ industry, or additional information. You can, of course, also use all of your word

processor’s other features, including text formatting and editing tools (such as cutting and pasting).

To remove modules, simply select the text and press Delete on your keyboard. Then, navigate to the

Table of Contents, right-click, and click Update Field. You may see a dialog box; if so, click “Update entire

table” and press OK.

(You will also want to perform this step if you add modules or move them around.)

If you want to change the way text looks, you can format any piece of text any way you want. However,

to make it easy, we have used styles so that you can update all the text at once.

Page 4: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

If you are using Word 97 to 2003, start by clicking the Format menu followed by Styles and Formatting.

In Word 2007 and 2010 under the Home tab, right-click on your chosen style and click Modify. That will

then produce the Modify Style options window where you can set your preferred style options.

For example, if we wanted to change our Heading 1 style, used for Module Titles, this is what we would

do:

Now, we can change our formatting and it will apply to all the headings in the document.

For more information on making Word work for you, please refer to Word 2007 or 2010 Essentials by

Corporate Training Materials.

Materials Required

All of our courses use flip chart paper and markers extensively. (If you prefer, you can use a whiteboard

or chalkboard instead.)

Page 5: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

We recommend that each participant have a copy of the Training Manual, and that you review each

module before training to ensure you have any special materials required. Worksheets are included

within the Appendix of the Instructor Guide and the participant’s Training Manual, and can be

reproduced and used where indicated. If you would like to save paper, these worksheets are easily

transferrable to a flip chart paper format, instead of having individual worksheets.

We recommend these additional materials for all workshops:

• Laptop with projector, for PowerPoint slides

• Quick Reference Sheets for students to take home

• Timer or watch (separate from your laptop)

• Masking tape

• Blank paper

Maximizing Your Training Power

We have just one more thing for you before you get started. Our company is built for trainers, by

trainers, so we thought we would share some of our tips with you, to help you create an engaging,

unforgettable experience for your participants.

• Make it customized. By tailoring each course to your participants, you will find that your results

will increase a thousand-fold.

o Use examples, case studies, and stories that are relevant to the group.

o Identify whether your participants are strangers or whether they work together. Tailor

your approach appropriately.

o Different people learn in different ways, so use different types of activities to balance it

all out. (For example, some people learn by reading, while others learn by talking about

it, while still others need a hands-on approach. For more information, we suggest

Experiential Learning by David Kolb.)

• Make it fun and interactive. Most people do not enjoy sitting and listening to someone else talk

for hours at a time. Make use of the tips in this book and your own experience to keep your

participants engaged. Mix up the activities to include individual work, small group work, large

group discussions, and mini-lectures.

• Make it relevant. Participants are much more receptive to learning if they understand why they

are learning it and how they can apply it in their daily lives. Most importantly, they want to

Page 6: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

know how it will benefit them and make their lives easier. Take every opportunity to tie what

you are teaching back to real life.

• Keep an open mind. Many trainers find that they learn something each time they teach a

workshop. If you go into a training session with that attitude, you will find that there can be an

amazing two-way flow of information between the trainer and trainees. Enjoy it, learn from it,

and make the most of it in your workshops.

And now, time for the training!

Page 7: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

Icebreakers

Each course is provided with a wide range of interactive Icebreakers. The trainer can utilize an

Icebreaker to help facilitate the beginning of the course, as it helps “break the ice” with the

participants. If the participants are new to each other, an icebreaker is a great way to introduce

everyone to each other. If the participants all know each other it can still help loosen up the

room and begin the training session on positive note. Below you will see one of the icebreakers

that can be utilized from the Icebreakers folder.

Page 8: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

Icebreaker: Friends Indeed

Purpose

Have the participants moving around and help to make introductions to each other.

Materials Required

• Name card for each person

• Markers

Preparation

Have participants fill out their name card. Then, ask participants to stand in a circle, shoulder to

shoulder. They should place their name card at their feet. Then they can take a step back. You

as the facilitator should take the place in the center of the circle.

Activity

Explain that there is one less place than people in the group, as you are in the middle and will

be participating. You will call out a statement that applies to you, and anyone to whom that

statement applies must find another place in the circle.

Examples:

• Friends who have cats at home

• Friends who are wearing blue

• Friends who don’t like ice cream

The odd person out must stand in the center and make a statement.

The rules:

• You cannot move immediately to your left or right, or back to your place.

• Let’s be adults: no kicking, punching, body-checking, etc.

Play a few rounds until everyone has had a chance to move around.

Instructor Guide Sample

On the following pages is a sample module from our Instructor Guide. It provides the instructor

with a copy of the material and a Lesson Plans box.

The key benefit for the trainer is the Lesson Plan box. It provides a standardized set of tools to

assist the instructor train that particular lesson. The Lesson Plan box gives an estimated time to

complete the lesson, any materials that are needed for the lesson, recommended activities, and

additional points to assist in delivering the lessons such as Stories to Share and Delivery Tips.

Module Two: What is Respect?

Everyday respect plays a meaningful part of our lives, and can arise in many

forms. Respect is the way we show appreciation to the valuable qualities of

others, and we are all worthy of this appreciation. People tend to respect those

with authority; however, respect for other individuals is not limited to those

who appear to have more power than we do. Without respect in our lives, there

would be a great deal of conflict. Hence, it is crucial to incorporate respectful

behaviors into the workplace.

Respect comes in various forms, including respect for others, self-respect, respect for nature, and

respect for laws. Every form of respect is a valuable contribution to success and happiness; thus, it is

important not to lack courteous gestures to those around us.

Defining Respect

The word respect can be defined in many ways. This concept is based on

individual interpretation; what one person sees as respectful may be

disrespectful to someone else. Our ideas of respect are based on our

backgrounds and preferences, and the basic social guidelines in which we learn

at a young age.

The word respect comes from the Latin word ‘respectus’, meaning to regard, consider, or to look back.

Respect is all about observation and acknowledgement. It is essential that to show respect to another

individual, we must pay attention to their beliefs, along with accepting and valuing these beliefs. It is

about thinking and acting in a positive attitude that shows care, consideration, or concern for others, as

well as oneself. Respect is important in allowing us to feel safe and voice our thoughts and opinions.

• There are many simple ways to show respect for others each day:

• Offering help

• Being on time

Accountability separates the wishers in life from the

action-takers that care enough about their future to

account for their daily actions

John Di Lemme

Respect for ourselves guides our morals,

respect for others guides our manners

Laurence Sterne

Page 11: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

• Taking responsibility

• Listening to learn

• Saying please and thank you

• Respecting personal space

Estimated Time 15 minutes

Topic Objective To define and understand what is meant by the term respect.

Topic Summary The understanding of respect is based on individual interpretation. Respect

can be shown in countless ways.

Materials Required Flipchart and markers

Planning Checklist Keep the previous list of ways to show respect close by for this first activity.

Recommended Activity

Ask participants to review the list of ways to show respect. Then, list five

other ways that they show respect for others each day.

Have the participants share and discuss their responses.

Stories to Share Share any personal, relevant stories. These may include stories of showing

respect, or receiving respect.

Delivery Tips Encourage everyone to participate. This may be done in small groups, or as

a large group discussion.

Review Questions What does the term respect mean?

How do we learn respect?

Self-Respect

While we often recognize the importance of respecting others, it is equally as

important to have respect for ourselves. Self-respect encompasses intrinsic worth,

or simply put, pride and confidence in oneself. You can learn to practice self-respect

by challenging yourself in ways that include standing up for yourself, and

understanding that not everyone will have respect for you, but continuing to have

Page 12: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

respect for others. Self-respect includes distancing yourself from negativity, in order to create a positive

mindset that will contribute to the success of your work.

Respect for others and self-respect go hand-in-hand. By respecting yourself, you are building your own

character. The character that you are building full of self-love and motivation is essential before you can

learn to respect others, and have others respect you.

Estimated Time 20 minutes

Topic Objective To understand what is meant by the term self-respect.

Topic Summary Determining what self-respect is, the importance of self-respect, and ways

to practice self-respect.

Materials Required Flipchart and markers

Worksheet 1: Self Respect- Creating a Positive “Me”

Planning Checklist Provide enough worksheet printouts for all participants.

Recommended Activity

Have participants complete Worksheet 1: Self Respect- Creating a Positive

“Me”.

Allow time for participants to share responses from their worksheet.

Stories to Share Share any personal, relevant stories.

Delivery Tips

Participants do not have to share their responses if they are not

comfortable doing so. Acknowledging strengths and weaknesses may be

personal.

Review Questions What are some ways to practice self-respect?

What is the relation between respect for others and self-respect?

Owed Respect vs. Earned Respect

Respect can be broken down into two main concepts: owed respect and earned respect. A balance

between the two of these concepts helps in the contribution of success, and establishing good

relationships among the team.

Page 13: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

Owed respect is respect that should be given to each individual member in

the workplace. With owed respect, all members are able to feel valued each

day, which leads to great benefits to the business. We owe respect to one

another, to ensure everyone feels included in the conversation of the team.

Owed respect is not just confined to members who are higher up in the

organization, but to each individual, as we all possess our own strengths.

In contrast to owed respect, earned respect is the recognition of high performance, or considerable

strengths. Earned respect often deals with status, including rewards and promotions. Not every

employee will have earned respect, only those who are dedicated and display qualities of a high

performing employee.

In order to create a balance between these two concepts of respect, it is first critical to understand the

difference between the two concepts. With understanding and recognition of our behaviors associated

with these two concepts, we can work to enforce a positive workplace that motivates employees by

rewarding those of greater strengths and talents, while continuing to show respect to every member in

the workplace at the same time.

Estimated Time 20 minutes

Topic Objective To compare and define the terms owed respect and earned respect.

Topic Summary

Owed Respect is given to each member in the workplace.

Earned Respect is given to those who exhibit high performances, or

considerable strengths.

A balance between these two forms of respect helps to create a positive,

safe work environment.

Materials Required None

Planning Checklist None

Recommended Activity Discuss the terms owed respect and earned respect.

Stories to Share Share any personal, relevant stories.

Delivery Tips Encourage everyone to participate. This activity can be done in small

groups, or as a large group discussion.

Review Questions What is the difference between owed respect and earned respect?

Page 14: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

Why is it important for a workplace to incorporate both owed and earned

respect?

Measuring Respect

Since respect is based on individual interpretation, is it possible to measure respect?

Our ideas of respect are established from our backgrounds and culture; thus, we all

have different concepts of what is respectful, and of what is disrespectful. In order to

ensure that you are remaining respectful, start with a basic consideration of the

other person’s feelings. If you are polite and conscious of their feelings and values,

you will remain within respectful boundaries, avoiding harm or discrimination. If we

wish to measure respect, we must ask others what respectful behavior means to

them.

Estimated Time 10 minutes

Topic Objective To understand that the concept of respect is not fixed; it is different for

everyone.

Topic Summary Understanding how individuals share different values and beliefs, where

respect comes from, and the importance of what respect means to others.

Materials Required None

Planning Checklist None

Recommended Activity

Have participants break into smalls groups and discuss what respect means

to them.

Discuss as a large group whether your ideas of respect were similar or

different from the other participants in your group.

Stories to Share Share any personal, relevant stories.

Delivery Tips Encourage everyone to participate.

Review Questions Do you feel as though your personal background has influenced your ideas

of respect? How so?

Page 15: Respect in the Workplace - CorporateTrainingMaterials.com

Respect for the Workplace

Showing respect for your workplace is just as important as showing respect to

other employees in the workplace. Respecting your workplace is all about

professionalism, or rather how you properly conduct yourself in your

profession. Acting professionally will guide you in creating a long, successful

career. There are many rules and regulations that must be followed in the

workplace, and it is your responsibility to abide by these protocols.

There are many ways to show respect for your workplace and organization. These include:

• Taking responsibility and initiative for your work. You are responsible for arriving on time, performing to the best of your abilities while helping others on your team, and staying at work for your scheduled amount of time.

• Dressing appropriately. Always follow the dress code that is established in your work setting, and for your type of position. Ensure your clothes are clean, neat and comfortable so that you are still able to perform adequately.

• Remaining in good health and cleanliness. Some jobs are very demanding or tiring on the body. It is important to have a well-balanced diet, exercise, and adequate sleep, in order to perform well on a day-to-day basis.

• Understanding and following regulations on scents/allergies, and tobacco use. There many health conditions that exist in which products such as these are especially harmful. Respect these regulations, as they are there for a reason.

• Maintaining confidentiality. Certain information is confidential in the workplace, and should not be included in casual conversations outside of this setting. Be attentive of the conversation, and keep personal work information inside the work environment.

• Embracing a positive attitude. Your attitude has a big effect on your overall professionalism. Take pride in your work, and show pride for your workplace.
