New Micro-Learning! Diversity is a fact of life in today’s workplace. Which means we need to be able to recognize and respond to those similarities and differences and make better decisions based on those understandings. In this short course, we’ll explore the importance of providing accurate feedback to our direct reports - and being open their insights.

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. Organizations must prioritize generational training to ensure the generational gap at work doesn't continue to expand and result in poor communication, collaboration, engagement and more.

New Micro-Learning! Knowing when and how to deal with issues of sexual orientation, or sexuality, or even lifestyle choices can be a challenge. They're the kind of things that can give rise to gossip and innuendo, at the very least; and outright hostility and harassment if you don't deal with them correctly.

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. When people perceive their biases to be valid, they are more likely to justify unfair treatment – which has negative impacts on the target of the bias as well as the entire organization.

New Micro-Learning! Assistance is about making sure we've got what we need to do the job and it is not just a management function. If someone is dependent on you for something, or if you've got some knowledge that's going to help someone get his or her job done - you've got to offer assistance. 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. When it comes to telling jokes, there's a fine line between funny and disrespectful. We can't always know what may be offensive just by looking at someone.

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.

New Micro-Learning! Studies have shown that having a diverse team is more innovative. But let's be real, finding and hiring diverse talent is often easier said than done. You may even be asking yourself, how can we get past potential bias and get the right talent in the door? And how do we keep them once we have them?

New Micro-Learning! Making assumptions about others is a natural way of interacting with each other. But, assumptions can have a negative effect when it comes to hiring. In this course, we will explore how unconscious bias, or assumptions can prevent you from finding top talent for the roles you are trying to fill.

New Micro-Learning! Traditionally, kindness has often been considered a weakness in the world of business. Everyone knows you can’t be successful climbing the corporate ladder by being touchy-feely or… even nice, right! Fortunately, being kind has nothing to do with being weak… actually… it has everything to do with strength!

New Micro-Learning! When it comes to encouraging inclusion in the workplace, terminology and vocabulary around world religions play a key role. Using derogatory names given to certain groups and people can perpetuate bias and stereotyping.

Bias is something we all have, and by itself, it is neither good nor bad. Bias are the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, perceptions and decisions.

It is important that we understand our hidden biases and stereotypes in order to foster effective teamwork. We often do not realize how these biases and stereotypes impact how we interact with others. Before you can avoid bias and stereotyping people in the workplace, you need to understand what they are.

Having fun at work is okay, but playing to stereotypes - even when it’s meant as just a joke - isn’t funny. It could be perceived as ridicule, and if that happens, it could be seen as creating a hostile environment.

Creating a welcoming and supportive healthcare environment for all LGBTQ patients is a critical part of patient-centered care. Getting to know your patients, including aspects of their sexual and gender identity, behavior, and desires is key to providing quality care.

It's up to us to take advantage of our differences to help make us more productive and more successful. To do that, we have to make an effort to recognize and respond to situations where coworkers or customers don't feel respected. It’s not easy but it’s certainly worth the effort.

Incivility can quickly turn into workplace harassment… creating an environment or climate of ridicule and disrespect - in which harassing behaviors are tolerated.
