Today’s inclusive and respectful workplace culture means that the ability to practice your religion and religious traditions is up to you. Being respectful of that means not bringing religions into conversations inappropriately and not disrespecting colleagues based on their religious practices or religious dress.

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. But it’s important to remember that assumptions like this can have a real-life impact on our work teams.

Regardless of all the training and legislation, there are still many stereotypes and prejudices regarding LGBTQ+ co-workers. This can sometimes make it hard to come to work depending upon the attitudes and behaviors of co-workers.

Building an inclusive workplace means that people can be their authentic self. We can bring our whole selves to work and not be worried about people discriminating against us because of this. In order for this equitable and inclusive workplace to exist, we all have to be careful of assumptions and comments we make about each other and in doing so create a better workplace for us all.

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.

A stereotype is a widely held, simplified belief about a specific group on the basis of sex, gender identity, race and ethnicity, nationality, age, socioeconomic status, language, and so forth. Stereotypes are deeply embedded within social institutions and wider culture. One important thing to remember is that we need to judge people based on their skills and abilities, not a preconceived stereotype, assumption, or bias.

Trust is the foundation of any successful organization. Trust means that employees have confidence in each other's abilities, intentions, and actions. Trust also means that employees feel safe to express their opinions, share their ideas, and collaborate with their colleagues. Leaders play a crucial role in promoting trust in the workplace by setting an example through their behavior and fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.

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.

Workplace equity refers to the fair and just treatment of all employees regardless of their backgrounds or identities, with an emphasis on creating an inclusive workplace where everyone has equal access to opportunities for professional growth and success.

This means actively seeking out diverse candidates for employment, providing equal access to opportunities for professional growth and advancement, and creating a culture of respect and inclusivity.

Stereotypes and biases have not place at work. They can (and do) creep into our conversations and influence our actions. When we hear or witness these types of statements, we need to speak up and drive conversation around the impact (even if the intent was not to hurt a co-worker). If we don't, they can easily lead to misunderstandings and reinforced stereotypes. Speaking up is an important part of creating and maintaining a respectful work environment.

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. It’s important for them to understand that we can draw on the strengths of those elements… developing a thorough solution that works for the entire team.

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.

Stereotyping is an all-too-common problem in the world today and is absolutely unacceptable in our organization. However, that does not mean it doesn’t still happen. We must listen to and validate our employees concerns and act on them. Doing anything else might lead to deeper issues – up to and including legal & compliance impacts.
