Everyday Leadership™ Never Gonna Move Up
Stereotyping and inappropriate comments are all-too-common problems in the world today and are absolutely unacceptable in our organization. We must listen to and validate our employees concerns and act on them. As leaders, we can address and help prevent stereotyping by listening, speaking up, and treating ALL employees fairly, regardless of race. We also must address performance problems - even when there are other issues at play.
TrainingBytes® Using Correct Pronouns
Pronouns, just like personal names, are connected to a person's identity. Gender pronouns are words that an individual (co-worker, customer, vendor, etc.) would like others to use when talking to or about them. The most commonly used pronouns are “he, him, his” and “she, her, hers.” People who are transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming may choose to use pronouns that don't conform to binary male/female gender categorizations, such as "they, them, theirs."
Being F.A.I.R.™ What is Diversity, Really?
As well know well, diversity is all about relationships. The similarities and differences that exist among employees, customers, and suppliers are what create diversity in the workplace. When we talk about diversity, one of the most important things to understand is that it's about culture. Culture is a way of living, thinking, doing being and believing. It has to do with things like dress, customs, language, and beliefs.
I Just Can't Risk It
Digitally Remastered! As managers, supervisors and leaders, we have a responsibility to hold each other to the same standard as everyone else. Sure, they might be our friends. But we can't make exceptions. We must let them know that they need to help set the example. And anything they do that violates any part of our Code of Conduct or program - like retaliating against someone for reporting a violation - seriously undermines our organization's culture of integrity.
M.E.E.T. Zero Tolerance: Enforcing Zero Tolerance with Fairness and Respect
Enforcing a zero tolerance policy can put managers and supervisors in a tough position. With no gray areas, second chances or margins for error, they must handle each situation properly to avoid legal repercussions for themselves and their organizations. This program adapts the M.E.E.T. approach to help managers and supervisors deal with zero tolerance situations respectfully, legally and consistently.
Eid-Ul-Fitr
The concept of inclusiveness within a diversity context; an example of why it's important to consider non-mainstream religion and the impacts our actions have on maintaining an inclusive workplace.
Just Give Me Another Three Days
Digitally Remastered! As managers, supervisors and team leaders, there are times when we have to make some pretty tough calls. It just goes with the territory. And when we're faced with those kinds of situations, we have to make sure we don't let short-term gains, like closing a big sale, completing a big project or hitting a production quota, take priority over the long-term integrity of the organization.
M.E.E.T.: Breaking New Ground™ We Have a Way of Doing Things
Recognizing that diversity and inclusion go beyond race, gender, ethnicity, etc. They can and often do involve differences in organizational culture, including work styles and schedules, geographic and time-zone differences, occupations, and working on virtual teams.
This is Gonna Be a Train Wreck
Transitioning to a different gender is a deeply personal decision. There are many unknowns and the added stress of how the workplace, and even customers, will accept the transitioning employee is very real. There are a variety of Federal, state and local laws that expressly protect workers based on their gender identity and sexual orientation.
Trust Me, It's Not Anonymous
Digitally Remastered! One of the biggest fears employees have about reporting potential violations is that their name or reports won't be kept anonymous or confidential. So, when we learn about employees who have concerns about any part of our business ethics and compliance program, we need to take the time to explain how our program works and encourage employees to speak up about anything they think could be a problem.
You Call That a Presentation?
When generational differences impact communication and presentation styles.
You Guys Just Figure It Out
Digitally Remastered! One of the biggest challenges we face is finding the time to deal with multiple and competing priorities, right? But, when it comes to maintaining a culture of integrity, our first priority as a manager has to be making sure all our employees always feel comfortable coming to us with concerns; and when they do, making the time to listen and address those concerns appropriately.
