Can Civility & Empathy Resolve the $2 Billion Daily Crisis in the US Workforce?
The importance of civility in the United States is a critical imperative according to the 2024 SHRM Civility Index Research.
More than 161 million people work in the United States every day, and 58% of U.S. workers believe our society is uncivil. U.S. workers collectively experience over 200 million acts of incivility daily, leading to approximately $2 billion per day in reduced productivity and absenteeism.
The study further highlights that “practicing civil behavior establishes a safe and empathetic environment where individuals can contribute their best ideas, knowing they will be heard and valued. Civility is more than making others feel comfortable; it's about creating a dynamic, diverse, and productive workplace where everyone can thrive.”
