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.

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.

New Micro-Learning! Racism fosters a divisive work culture that undermines morale, teamwork and productivity. In the workplace, racism most often manifests itself through microaggressions, which are indirect, subtle or even unintentional acts of discrimination against others – often taking the form of stereotypes. Portuguese-Brazilian version of the "TrainingBriefs® Understanding Racism (Key Terms)" course.

New Micro-Learning! We all know the definition of bias, right? It’s the negative or positive assumptions usually applied to groups of people. It can be blatant (also known as explicit) or subtle. It can also be unintentional and unconscious. Microaggressions tend to be the everyday, subtle interactions or behaviors that communicate some sort of bias toward another person or group. They can be intentional or unintentional and sometimes even well-meaning. Portuguese-Brazilian version of the "TrainingBriefs® Understanding Microaggressions" course.

The impact of unconscious bias means that we are acting a certain way towards people or circumstances without realizing it. Although people may think conscious bias is worse because it is a conscious decision we are aware of, both can be detrimental, especially in the workforce. When unconscious bias affects our decisions, we are unaware of it, because it happens outside our control.

This new course has been designed to provide all employees with practical, inclusionary skills for recognizing and responding to tough situations they may face or witness within the workplace after a health scare or pandemic. After all, inclusion and respect are all about people having a sense of belonging; it gives people the feeling of being welcomed, respected, valued and treated fairly for who they are and what they bring or contribute to the organization.
