This can be difficult to do for many people, but there are some tips and tricks to make it easier AND more effective.

Organizations are navigating a broad range of post-pandemic issues that span from keeping you and your customers safe to re-configuring business operations and getting things to a 'new' normal. This course is designed to provide you with practical inclusionary skills for recognizing and responding to tough situations you may face or witness within the workplace after a health scare or pandemic - as well as understanding the importance of new standards and policies (e.g. social distancing) put in place to keep the workplace safe.

New Micro-Learning! Harassment, discrimination and other inappropriate behaviors are serious issues that must be dealt with. Accusations, right or wrong, can also have a devastating effect on a person's career, reputation in their community and relationships with other co-workers - and because of that, they can lead to lawsuits. It's up to you as the manager to get the facts, and it's also up to you to make sure those facts remain as confidential as possible.

New Micro-Learning! If an employee has threatened someone outside your organization, it may be a warning sign of an employee who is under stress and having a difficult time maintaining control of his or her emotions. If you fail to act, you could end up facing a hostile work environment lawsuit. Direct intervention at an early stage really does make a difference.

New Micro-Learning! There is no excuse, in the eyes of the law, for permitting unacceptable or unprofessional behavior of any kind - regardless of the circumstances. If you are unsure how to deal with the situation, consult with an EAP professional, human resources, security officials or upper management. There are resources available to help you with these types of problems. So, if someone gets out of line... deal with it. Immediately.

New Micro-Learning! Social (and physical) distancing policies and standards within the workplace are essential to protecting employees from possibly getting sick. When it comes to understanding these new policies and procedures, it’s important to not only follow them, but to refrain from criticizing others for following them.

New Micro-Learning! Using good judgement and good hygiene – while following organizational policies – can help prevent the spread of workplace sickness - without upsetting others. Refusing to shake hands can be dicey - even uncomfortable. There is definitely a right way to maintain respect while adhering to social distancing policies.

New Micro-Learning! Biases and stereotypes based on national origin or heritage can lead to unfounded and negative comments and actions that can ruin relationships and reputations. This type of harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated in our organization!

New Micro-Learning! It's normal for employees to be concerned about overall safety when returning to work after a health scare or pandemic. Your safety is of utmost importance. What's not allowed are threats and actions against another employee – regardless of the perceived health impacts that employee might have on others. Any form of abusive conduct (whether veiled or actual threats of violence) will not be tolerated.

New Micro-Learning! Gossip has no place in the workplace. Assumptions and gossip can lead to bigger issues – discrimination and even harassment. Using good judgement and good hygiene can help prevent the spread of workplace sickness - without discriminating against others based on what we might perceive as fact.

New Micro-Learning! As employees and staff begin their return to the workplace after the pandemic stay-at-home orders, they will have questions... many questions. Things will take time to get back to normal. And many think the 'new' normal might not be much like how we did things in the past. As a manager, you need to be prepared for questions and concerns brought to you by your team.

New Micro-Learning! Unpredictable times call for unprecedented leadership. During times of intense fluidity, employees, team members and associates are all looking for their leaders to set the tone. They need to feel inspired and motivated to navigate the unknown. They need to know their leaders have their backs and are ready for what's next! Most importantly, they need to trust that their leaders are beside them - every step of the way.

New Micro-Learning! 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.

New Micro-Learning! Stereotypes are all too common in the workplace today. A stereotype is defined as an over-generalized belief about a particular category of people. Stereotypes are generalized because one assumes that the stereotype is true for each individual person in a group.

New Micro-Learning! Bias refers to negative or positive assumptions usually applied to groups of people. Bias can be persistent, harmful and/or unequal treatment of an individual based on a characteristic they possess or beliefs about a group with which they are identified. When we think about other people, we need to be aware of how bias may come into play. This is particularly true when the same behavior is seen as positive or negative depending upon if the person is a man or a woman.
