A reasonable accommodation is an adjustment to a job or work environment that makes it possible for an individual with a disability to perform their job duties. When someone asks for an accommodation because of a disability – that is between them and their manager. It isn’t anyone else’s business. Asking someone out of curiosity will put them in an awkward position - and no one enjoys that.

Workplace diversity is critical to any organization's success. It promotes innovation, better problem-solving, improves a company's reputation, increases employee morale and retention, and can help organizations better understand and serve their customers.

Belonging is that feeling of security and support - a sense of inclusion and acceptance within a group. It’s when an individual can bring their authentic self to work. By creating genuine feelings of belonging for all, an organization improves both engagement and performance. In today's increasingly diverse workplace, it's more important than ever for organizations to cultivate a culture of belonging. That’s a place in which all employees feel included, respected, and valued, regardless of their race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristic. When employees feel like they belong, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and committed to their work, which benefits our organization as a whole.

Respect sets the tone for the overall organizational culture. A culture of respect promotes fairness, integrity, and ethical behavior, which strengthens our organization's values and identity. When workplace respect is prioritized and consistently practiced, it creates a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment, leading to increased job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being of the workforce.

It’s a good possibility that many members of our organization don’t understand that our organization is a collection of backgrounds, experience levels, and life lessons.

Our workplace is full of employees with valuable life experiences and ideas. It’s important to recognize and appreciate the knowledge, perspectives, and experiences that team members of all ages bring to the table. This course explores how a manager deals with an unexpected derogatory comment directed towards a fellow employee regarding their age.

Regardless of physical appearance and gender, we should treat each other with respect and dignity. As a leader in our organization, we must acknowledge that each other’s achievements are due to nothing short of hard work and dedication, NOT appearance or sexuality. We are all on the same team.
