Racial bias can be hard to spot. It shows up in our society and everyday interactions in ways we often don't realize. One common form is microaggressions. These are subtle, sometimes indirect, and often unintentional behaviors that send negative or hostile messages based on race. They can be things we say or do without even realizing the impact they have.

Encouraging respect for ourselves and others does not mean failing to recognize our differences (race, religion, etc.) when they affect our understanding of a situation, our impact on others or our relationships. No matter how you may feel as an individual, color consciousness exists in our society and is the lived experience of many people.

Health equity is not just a health care issue; it’s a fundamental aspect of social, economic, and human justice. By prioritizing health equity, we can create healthier, more inclusive communities where everyone has the chance to thrive and contribute. Addressing inequities benefits individuals, strengthens public systems, and builds a better future for society as a whole.

Cultural sensitivity is about being aware of and respectful toward the beliefs, values, practices, and customs of different cultures. In the workplace, it means understanding and appreciating the diversity of cultural backgrounds that colleagues, clients, vendors and customers bring and responding in ways that are respectful and inclusive.

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.

Resilience matters in the workplace because it can help employees cope with stress, improve their well-being, increase their job satisfaction and performance, and enhance their creativity and innovation. Resilience can also benefit the organization by reducing turnover and absenteeism as well as by improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, reputation and brand image, and employee engagement and retention.

Being your authentic self at work can create a better work environment and experiences for both coworkers and clients. It can also have a positive effect on your life outside of work. Research shows that feeling like you can be yourself at work improves employee engagement, empowerment, trust, relationships, and happiness. So, don't be afraid to bring your authentic self to work. It can benefit you and everyone around you.

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. Embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity in the workplace is not just a smart business decision, but it’s the right thing to do!

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.
