CIVILITY AGREEMENT GETS AN UPDATE
Our KPL Civility Agreement has been a very useful tool to set the standards of behavior for new hires and remind us all of our staff values as we are challenged by interpersonal relationships both on staff and in our interactions with the public. When mistakes are made, we point to the document as group expectations and more than one Performance Improvement Plan has been based on a staff member not meeting civility expectations. This year we're deepening our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion by updating our staff Civility Agreement to include a statement that commits everyone on staff to treat everyone fairly and personally work to improve their understanding and acceptance of others. All of us will be recommitting to these staff values by re-signing the agreement. Here's the exact phrase added to the Civility Agreement:
I pledge to uphold the vision of diversity, equity, and inclusion by being an ally for all and by continually reflecting on and working to overcome my own biases. (This means everyone will have a safe, respectful, and inclusive space in which to visit and work. All staff will participate in regular training related to this pledge. Discrimination, retaliation, and/or harassment due to gender, gender identity, race, color, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, genetic information, national origin, tribal citizenship, familial obligations, veteran status, socioeconomic status, geography, cultural heritage and other differences will not be tolerated.)
Michelle will be visiting the branches in the coming weeks to present each of you with the updated Civility Agreement for signature, talk with you about your goals listed in Choose Your Own Adventure, and listen to any feedback you'd like to provide about how things are going and how we can support you in your work.
