Here at GE Healthcare, we embrace a culture of respect to our colleagues and our customers. What are some ways that you show respect to those that you work with?

"For me, respect in the workplace starts with treating my coworkers with kindness and courtesy. In the finance world, we often have to deliver hard news to people and work with them at their worst and my ability to focus on a courteous approach and being polite is essential to being respectful and getting a respectful treatment back from others. I also strive to put my self in the shoes of others that I work with to help me bring a sense of respect to my interactions with them."

"In the sales world, the relationships that I build with my staff and my customers are strengthened by respect. To solidify these relationships, I use a listen first approach to learn as much about others that I can. This shows them that I am attentive to their needs, both personally and professionally. At that point, I maintain a friendly yet professional relationship with them. Bonds are further strengthened when things get rocky in a relationship by my ability to stay calm, see things from their perspective and then do all that is possible to make things right for them. This approach has helped me maintain many long-term customers that may have sought alternative products when a delivery wasn't on time or we were out of stock of a particular product."
