Workplace incivility remains the most prevalent form of mistreatment in organizations. It affects nearly 75 per cent of people who experience or witness interpersonal mistreatment.

This is an observation made by Rémi Labelle-Deraspe, a professor in the Department of Human Resources Management at the Université de Sherbrooke’s School of Management, who is interested in the issue of respect in the workplace.

However, he indicates that it remains difficult to determine the trend of this phenomenon due to a lack of data.
