about civility

Civility is the act of displaying good etiquette when collaborating with others in a group to achieve a collective purpose. A civil act is critical to living a happier life because it changes our habits while fostering stable relationships that contribute to a happy life. Civility in the workplace helps to avoid cultural, religious, and racial misunderstandings. It promotes social connections, which boosts staff productivity at work (Lim and Bernstein 127). The scene dialogue represents principles and real policies by programs that minimize incivility while ensuring a beneficial working atmosphere.
Values and policies in the workplace are important as they bring advantages that are long-term to an organization.
Incivility drains productivity
Incivility lowers the morale of the employees. When employees don’t get a working environment that is conducive they are constantly worried and therefore not in a position to deliver the services as per the customer expectations. If one client is not happy, there will be shared the negative experience others. Civility increases the quality of services an individual receives from the organization. Quality services retain customers and therefore, increase the cash flows.
Civility retains employees
Employees are assets to an organization. Retaining skilled employees gives the company a chance to generate more revenue. In firms that deal with professional services, such as law and accountancy, losing an expert in the field can lead to a massive reduction in income (Lim and Bernstein 123). A culture of civility will retain the employees and therefore increase revenues. The cost of hiring and training new employees will reduce significantly.
Civility increases the reputation of the organization
To be successful in business, a corporate image is essential. People no longer want to be in association with companies that engage in ethical violations such as the breach of law. Technology and media facilitate information sharing. If an individual initiates an action against a company which outcome is unfavorable there is a loss of confidence from the clients. A good image can increase sales in businesses which enhance the revenue of the organization.
Civility reduces the rate of absenteeism at work.
Research shows that one in every three employees harassed will fail to report to work the next day. Absenteeism decreases productivity and increases the cost to an organization as individuals engage in overtime to complete the assigned tasks. A culture of civility energizes people and makes them look forward to being at work on a daily basis (Fevre and Ralph et al 40). It increases productivity while maintaining skilled personnel in an organization.
Civility reduces Cost of operation
There are various costs associated with running an agency both direct and indirect. Indirect cost reduces significantly when an enterprise adopts healthy working relationships. In departments, teamwork is essential because the functions are related. For instance, the finance department requires the IT department to maintain the software that is important in computing transactions that generate revenue to an organization. The entire structure depends on marketing department to sell products that will increase revenue to the company. Maintaining healthy relationships reduces the cost of subcontracting for services that can be provided by in-house departments (Sim Seong Bo 115). Teamwork allows people to open about their skills outside the field of practice reducing costs significantly.
Civility eliminates drama and conflict at work
Incivility increase conflicts in the organization. It encourages people to form groups that support specific individuals even in wrong doings. It demoralizes the employees thus making them fail to work towards a common goal as their focus shifts to chaos. Professionals who embrace civility are less likely to tolerate conflicts. They are ethical and keen not to engage in conversations that can lead to arguments.
Consideration of civil behavior in gravity kills me
I would consider Wallberg and Jan’s behavior to be civil in gravity kills me. A civil behavior is the one that is respectful and portrays good manners. It includes an act of kindness to one another fairness in our dealings and consideration of co-workers. Individuals are able to act responsibly therefore eliminating any chance of conflict.
Conclusion
The scene in the movie educates us that an action of civility is crucial in everyday life. We all want to be treated with respect, and it can never happen if we do the opposite of our expectations. If we train ourselves to love and appreciate one another incivility will be reduced around the globe, and we will make the world a better place for everyone.
