Deciding what to wear to work in the morning, what to eat for dinner, and whether to walk up the stairs or take the escalator are some of the easier decisions to make during a typical day.

New Micro-Learning! The newest generation of workers (Gen Z) will increase the complexity of managing and working across generations, especially considering that more than 75% of workers identify "managing multi-generational teams" and "different work expectations across generations" as challenges.

New Micro-Learning! Knowing when and how to deal with issues of sexual orientation, or sexuality, or even lifestyle choices can be a challenge.

New Micro-Learning! Explicit bias refers to the attitudes and beliefs we have about a person or group of people on a conscious level. We know these biases exist. We are conscious of them.

And, if you need something, you need to ensure you ask for it.

New Micro-Learning! Over the last 30 years or so, we've paid a lot of attention to overcoming the past exclusion of women and minorities in the workplace.

And sometimes those concerns were justified by inappropriate actions taken to meet hiring goals.

New Micro-Learning! Stereotypes are over-generalized beliefs about a particular category of people.
