Prejudicial behaviour or behaviour that can be seen as aggressive, hostile, antagonistic, sarcastic, belittling or discriminative should never be shown to colleagues, parents, staff or children. If there is a disagreement, don't make assumptions or make personal comments regarding the person’s character or personality, the content should be kept professional. Any negative issues previously dealt with should not be brought up again. You should make a conscious effort not to react too quickly to what might be an unintentional comment to which an apology may follow, given time.
It shows respect to other people and a lack of manners is often interpreted as a lack of respect. Manners will influence on children’s behaviour therefore practitioners will need to be good role models.
If theres staff disrespect happening in the chat I would give a warning and if they don't stop a 5-15 tempmute to the player that disrespects staff.
When Maalick originally went to Marta Ford he spoke to her about the questions regarding his religion his co-coworkers had been asking. Rather than disregard his concerns she should have been proactive in addressing the issue rather than waiting until it got worse. She could have held a meeting with everyone in the facility and reminded them of the company policy regarding harassment. According to Gomez-Mejia, L., Balkin, D., & Cardy, R. (2012) companies that are proactive toward issues are better prepared to deal with future problems. Had she done this the issue likely would not have escalated to the point that it became a hostile work environment for Maalick. To prevent the situation from happening in the future Marta Ford could provide additional training to all employees and require annual retraining so that all employees and management are aware of company policies.
It Is important that people who work with children are aware how to protect themselves against incidents of alleged abuse or inappropriate working practices.
There are not real negative things that will happen to those that ignore communications, which is clearly shown in this case. Moreover it can be viewed as a way for people to show their own power. I think that management needs to take action. They should review all the memos sent, how they would both want to fix the situation, and improve upon the problem for starters. In a case like this management options are limited, theoretically nothing was done wrong. So at the end of the day they can pretend like nothing ever happened and move on. Or they can address the problem. If their goal is to keep leigh in her managerial position they will have to address this communication breakdown. I would also look to implement a company policy to help deter this from happening in the future. Even something as simple as a response to one of Leigh's Memo’s. Such as i am too busy, i'm sorry i don't have time. Instead he chose to blatantly disrespect her. That could go a long way in improving workplace morale, and
Evaluation Maria is a good employee but is often loud and aggressive in her approach to co-workers and supervisors. The employee record shows there were problems with tardiness and attendance and twice supervisors for these infractions have counseled her. Maria has pointed out that she is the only
Sabath, A. M. (2007). Workplace etiquette: The unwritten rules of business success. Employment Relations Today (Wiley), 34(2),

followed. They should include oral reprimand, written warnings with a plan in place to show the expected behavior, and clear disciplinary actions that must be acted upon as given. The plan of action cannot be ignored or forgotten and left unenforced. The plan must change her behavior, or end in termination of her employment.
It is critical for staff to overcome the temptation to ignore strange behavior or explain it away. People find it much more tempting to explain away the behavior by making assumptions in favor of the member and the member's peculiar behavior.
One day a supervisor observed student employees preparing to get ready for a work day at the beginning of their shift. In the process the student manager gathered his student employees together and verbally explained what was to be done and in what order. In the course of

1. A supervisor must handle a sensitive employee with care. When Anne entered Teri’s office, Teri ignored her and made herself busy with the papers on her desk. Without initiating any conversation, Teri handed her a warning form. If I were instead of Teri, I would make a conversation with her first and give her a chance to talk, and then give her the warning form. I would ask her whether she knows why I called her to my office or not. If she says yes, we are on the same page; however, if she says no, I do not want to surprise her by handing her the warning form. I would say that I am following up on the previous meeting that we had about her absentees, and I have not seen any improvement. I would say that I noticed that most of the absentees fall on Monday and whether there are any reasons for it. I give her a chance to explain and defend herself. This way she does not feel that she is accused of dishonesty. At the end of the meeting, I will hand her the warning, which she is mentally ready for it.
The incident in question has placed me in a unique opportunity; as the facilitator of this situation would be best to approach this in a manner that would best benefit the organization, including my department. Although I am already conflicting within with personal and professional points of views, addressing the situation will become a challenge. Despite who initiated this situation or who escalated the situation, resolution must be determined in the best interest of communication within our environment.
