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.
