We Can Help!

Upward Spiral Solutions motivates people to use their power to improve their organizations, lives and the world by interacting with dignity and respect!

Organizations : When an organization’s actions reflect a commitment to treat employees fairly and with dignity and respect, and team members feel this, good things happen. When we trust and feel close to a person, we commit and give them help gladly. The same is true for organizations. Employees that feel respected and honored for their work by their organization and its leaders, develop a sense of trust and belonging. They willingly go the extra mile through discretionary effort and cooperation. The organization’s work environment reflects professionalism and harmony that shows through productivity, creativity and positivity. This improves employee and customer retention and reduces internal organizational strife. Doing the right thing, by treating people fairly and with dignity and respect, benefits everyone.

People:  When people see each other as part of the same team, on this journey together, interactions naturally reflect dignity and respect. The transformational changes of dignity and respect are driven by and happen through people. Leaders recognize their ability and responsibility to create an environment that fosters dignity and respect and this generates all the positive outcomes that follow. Each individual employee that engages in the dignity and respect journey sees their power to influence every interaction by approaching it with dignity and respect. People are empowered to support and be supported by others. Understanding, engagement and positive outcomes become the norm. The more we think about dignity and respect, the more it changes us and we change our world.

The World 

By focusing on the power of organizations and individuals to positively influence interactions and outcomes, every moment of Upward Spiral Solutions’ work makes our world a better place for all of us to live.

Employees that have participated in Dignity and Respect workshops often comment on improvements, not only at work, but in their personal lives.  They find that it’s impossible to embrace treating others with dignity and respect at work, without it improving their non-work relationships.  People making these comments understand their power to make a difference with Dignity and Respect.  They help drive the upward spiral of continuous improvement that helps our world.
