Project Respect

Mutual respect is the bedrock of all human interactions.

  • Effective communication involves awareness and modulation of micro-behaviors on an ongoing basis
  • Communication is both verbal (about 10%) and nonverbal (about 90%)
  • Many people report experiencing disrespect and microaggressions at work
  • Our research has identified 6 common gender-based microaggressions
  • Microaggressions in clinical interactions can compromise quality of health care
  • Respectful work interactions enhance job satisfaction and reduce burnout

    • Welcome to Project Respect

    Our goal is to launch a courtesy campaign in healthcare. Kindness and courtesy in professional interactions will mitigate burnout and augment wellness and quality of care.
