Civility Management Solutions Launches Nationwide Campaign for National Civility Month
Challenging the Culture Debt Ceiling
GREENBELT, Md., July 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As organizations nationwide continue to grapple with rising workplace tension, burnout, and disengagement, Civility Management Solutions (CivilityMS), a woman- and veteran-owned management services firm based in Greenbelt, Maryland, is launching a nationwide awareness campaign to recognize National Civility Month (August 2025) and offer leaders real solutions to an invisible, expensive problem.
The campaign reframes civility not as a soft skill—but as a strategic leadership asset that directly impacts performance, retention, and revenue.
According to recent studies, incivility now costs U.S. employers more than $2 billion per day in lost productivity, absenteeism, and turnover—a growing "culture debt" that many leaders still overlook.
Led by CivilityMS Founder and President Laurie Sayles, the campaign introduces a powerful slate of tools and events, including:
The Executive Civility Toolkit – A free, practical resource for executives, HR leaders, and team managers, featuring civility scorecards, pulse surveys, team conversation flashcards, and behavior checklists.
National Webinar – "Culture Debt Is Real: Why Civility Is the Business Strategy You're Ignoring" – airing live on LinkedIn Wednesday, August 13, 2025 .
Private CEO Roundtable – "Civility Behind Closed Doors: A CEO Roundtable on Culture, Leadership & Accountability" – taking place virtually on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 .
Social Media Activation + CEO Civility Pledge – Encouraging C-suite leaders to sign a digital pledge and receive a badge of commitment to respectful, accountable leadership.
"Civility is not soft—it's strategic," says Sayles. "It affects contract renewals, team trust, psychological safety, and innovation. When companies treat it like a leadership competency, they see measurable results."
CivilityMS has delivered civility-focused solutions to federal agencies, Fortune 500s, nonprofits, and C-suite teams—integrating respect, emotional intelligence, and accountability into the DNA of daily operations. The company's approach is built on the belief that culture is not an HR issue—it's a leadership responsibility.
The campaign also features a downloadable infographic outlining the cost of incivility, and a "Campaign in a Box" kit to help organizations activate civility internally throughout August.
