New Micro-Learning! So, how can we maintain respectful work relationships when someone uses a term or phrase that is offensive to others in the workplace? Diversity moments are often unintended, occur when we least expect, and can leave us surprised, confused, embarrassed, guilty, fearful, frustrated or uncertain. When you overhear a situation where one person has inadvertently made an insulting remark, you may decide to intervene.

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. This course is designed to provide you with practical inclusionary skills for recognizing and responding to tough situations you may face or witness within the workplace after a health scare or pandemic - as well as understanding the importance of new standards and policies (e.g. social distancing) put in place to keep the workplace safe.

New Micro-Learning! Social (and physical) distancing policies and standards within the workplace are essential to protecting employees from possibly getting sick. When it comes to understanding these new policies and procedures, it’s important to not only follow them, but to refrain from criticizing others for following them.

New Micro-Learning! It's normal for employees to be concerned about overall safety when returning to work after a health scare or pandemic. Your safety is of utmost importance. What's not allowed are threats and actions against another employee – regardless of the perceived health impacts that employee might have on others. Any form of abusive conduct (whether veiled or actual threats of violence) will not be tolerated.

New Micro-Learning! Unpredictable times call for unprecedented leadership. During times of intense fluidity, employees, team members and associates are all looking for their leaders to set the tone. They need to feel inspired and motivated to navigate the unknown. They need to know their leaders have their backs and are ready for what's next! Most importantly, they need to trust that their leaders are beside them - every step of the way.

New Micro-Learning! Having a diverse workplace is very important. But until we are inclusive – meaning that we truly include and respect others - we are wasting an opportunity to leverage the power of that diversity. We can make assumptions (and stereotypes) about people based on their age… like younger people will be much better at embracing and using technology when compared to those that are older.

New Micro-Learning! Stereotypes are all too common in the workplace today. A stereotype is defined as an over-generalized belief about a particular category of people. Stereotypes are generalized because one assumes that the stereotype is true for each individual person in a group.

New Micro-Learning! Bias refers to negative or positive assumptions usually applied to groups of people. Bias can be persistent, harmful and/or unequal treatment of an individual based on a characteristic they possess or beliefs about a group with which they are identified. When we think about other people, we need to be aware of how bias may come into play. This is particularly true when the same behavior is seen as positive or negative depending upon if the person is a man or a woman.
