Respect
One of the 24 workplace behaviors Kinetry measures on a recurring cycle — monthly for most teams — in the Collaboration & Culture category.
Treats all colleagues professionally, inclusively, and with dignity regardless of role or background.
The Collaboration & Culture category asks: what is it like to work beside this person — do they make the room safer and clearer, or heavier?
Raters judge how consistently they see defined, observable signs of respect — behavior in the work itself, not personality or likability. One of them:
- Treats everyone with professionalism
That's 1 of 3 observable signs for this behavior — raters see the complete set on the rating form, beside the definition, every cycle.
Respect is scored every measurement cycle — monthly for most teams — by several raters around each person in 360 mode, or by one consistent outside advisor in single-assessor mode. The same fairness rules apply as everywhere in Kinetry: rater minimums before an individual score is shown, “not observed” is a first-class answer, and an unmeasured behavior is never treated as a zero. The full rules are public at How scores are protected.
- In the Kinetry Pair Model — for every pair of teammates, respect is classified as a super sync (both strong — joint work compounds), a shared gap (both fall short — neither compensates), or complementary (one covers the other), feeding the Team Relationship Map and each pair's Pair Reading.
- In the Kept-Commitment Method — when someone commits to work on respect and keeps that commitment, Kinetry compares how the behavior moved by the next cycle against behaviors where commitments weren't kept. The full procedure, floors, and limits are published at the Kept-Commitment Method.
- Over time — each person's respect score is a reading every cycle, not a one-time label — comparable because the definition never moves.
