Respect can be heard in a person’s tone of voice, in their nonverbal communication, body language and in how they address. It can be observed by co-worker or supervisor listening and asking questions to make sure they understand the point of view. We are judged, respected by the way our organization, superiors, and coworkers/volunteers/contractors treat each other. It is apparent in how our organization establishes new rules, policies, and procedures introducing them to employees, volunteers, and contactors and how they are compensated, recognized, and rewarded. Respect has been determined by how often workers, volunteers, and contactors ask our opinion, consult us about any changes that could affect our job prior to implementing them, and delegating meaningful assignments.
