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.

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.

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

New Micro-Learning! Regardless of your position, title or level in the organization, it is your job—and the job of every employee—to help create a professional workplace by demonstrating appropriate behavior.

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. But we don't give a lot of thought as to how those changes have affected white men. It's easy to see how the focus on minorities and women has caused many white men to worry about discrimination. And sometimes those concerns were justified by inappropriate actions taken to meet hiring goals.

New Micro-Learning! We all have different experiences and backgrounds, and we may have different views on what is acceptable behavior. But failing to treat people with respect and professionalism, when due to a protected status, can easily lead to charges of discrimination or harassment. This course takes a look at how sabotaging someone’s ability to do his or her job can lead to an adverse employment action.

New Micro-Learning! In the workplace, we need to understand how controversial issues outside of the organization can affect internal working relationships and productivity when we start voicing our personal opinions in the midst of a culturally diverse workforce.
