Cultivating Respect in Organizations: A Research Workshop
October 9-10, 2025
The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
Join us for a two-day workshop that will bring together leading minds and emerging scholars in management and related fields seeking to advance research on cultivating respect and fostering an environment of belonging, presented by the Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources area at the Haskayne School of Business.
