1. Treat people with dignity by showing respect even if you disagree with them.

   Dignity: our inherent value as human beings

   If you treat everyone as human beings, you will have increased safety, less stress, greater work satisfaction, enhanced job performance, and improved relationships. If you treat people with dignity, they will be more likely to cooperate with requests, not get upset, and treat you well in return.

   Everyone has an inherent value as a human being; however, people do not always treat each other in a way that acknowledges this. Here are some possible reasons why that happens:

   •  We do not believe they deserve it

   •  Our ego will not allow it

   •  It is unnatural in the face of conflict

   •  We do not realize it drives safety and better results

   •  We do not know how

   In this article, you will learn the 5 specific methods for HOW to treat people with dignity.

   The first thing to know about how to treat people with dignity is that, in order to do so, you must show them respect.

   This does not mean that you need to respect everyone. That would be impossible since respect is based on your personal values and must be earned. However, it is essential that you SHOW everyone respect. All people deserve to be shown respect.

   Diversity education teaches the proper way to treat people of different backgrounds, races, and genders. This can be challenging given the subtleties of cross-cultural expectations.

   To be effective at conflict management, you must realize how ALL people want to be treated, regardless of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, culture, etc.

   Here are the five approaches for doing this:

   1.    See world through their eyes

   2.    Listen with all senses

   3.    Ask and explain why

   4.    Offer options, let them choose

   5.    Give opportunity to reconsider

   These five approaches describe how all people want to be treated. Everyone wants to be shown empathy, listened to, asked to do something rather than being told, provided an explanation for why they are being asked, offered options to choose from, and given an opportunity to rethink a decision.

   Here is a further explanation of each of the five approaches to showing people respect.
