The wildly popular Diversity 101™ describing the core components of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Streaming course version.

Valuing coworkers means recognizing their contributions, respecting their ideas, and treating them with dignity. It fosters trust, strengthens teamwork, and creates a more positive and productive workplace where everyone feels respected, engaged, and motivated. This approach reduces conflict, improves morale, and promotes an inclusive culture.

Micro-affirmations are subtle, positive actions that acknowledge, support, and include others, fostering respect, belonging, and psychological safety in the workplace. These small acts, such as acknowledging input or giving credit, make people feel seen, valued, and supported. Over time, they build trust, improve team dynamics, and create a culture of respect and belonging, positively impacting morale, engagement, and performance.

Compassion is an empathetic, caring, and supportive attitude toward colleagues, team members, employees and others. It involves recognizing and responding to the challenges, emotions, and needs of others in a way that fosters a positive and collaborative work environment. By fostering a culture of compassion, our organization can create an environment where employees thrive personally and professionally, leading to a stronger, more sustainable workplace.

Under federal law, discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited. Additionally, many states and local jurisdictions have laws that offer extra protections against harassment and discrimination based on both perceived and actual sexual orientation. In these areas, such behavior can lead coworkers to face legal consequences, including potential hostile environment harassment lawsuits.

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.

The impact of unconscious bias means that we are acting a certain way towards people or circumstances without realizing it. Although people may think conscious bias is worse because it is a conscious decision we are aware of, both can be detrimental, especially in the workforce. When unconscious bias affects our decisions, we are unaware of it, because it happens outside our control.

A conflict with a co-worker can be one of the most frustrating things we have to deal with. I used to try to avoid people I didn't get along with, and just hope they got transferred out of the department. But the truth is that costs the department and the organization big time. It's one of those "everybody loses and everybody is miserable" approaches.

This new course has been designed to provide all employees with practical, inclusionary skills for recognizing and responding to tough situations they may face or witness within the workplace after a health scare or pandemic. After all, inclusion and respect are all about people having a sense of belonging; it gives people the feeling of being welcomed, respected, valued and treated fairly for who they are and what they bring or contribute to the organization.

New Micro-Learning! Making assumptions and perpetuating stereotypes about someone based on their religion or their religious clothing does not lead to an inclusive or respectful workplace. People often have different religious practices based upon their faith. Some of these practices include wearing something like a crucifix. For others, it means wearing a piece of attire such as a hijab. Today’s inclusive and respectful workplace culture means that the ability to practice your religion is open to you.

Organizations are navigating a broad range of post-pandemic issues that span from keeping you and your customers safe to re-configuring business operations and getting things to a 'new' normal.

New Micro-Learning! When we meet new people, we can be unfamiliar with how to pronounce their names. But what happens when we let someone’s name interfere with our judgment? When we make decisions - like hiring - based on just a name of a candidate, we definitely exhibit bias. We should instead look not for culture fit but for a culture add – what can a person bring to the team.

New MicroLearning! Respect is about treating people the way they want to be treated. It means establishing and maintaining a work environment that is free of offensive practices and conditions. If disrespectful conduct and disparaging remarks come up, they are addressed quickly and effectively. Respect is also about speaking positively about the organization, even during times of crisis – focusing on why you originally came to work here and why you are staying.

New Micro-Learning! Diversity is a fact of life in today’s workplace. Which means we need to be able to recognize and respond to those similarities and differences and make better decisions based on those understandings. In this short course, we’ll explore the importance of providing accurate feedback to our direct reports - and being open their insights.
