TrainingBriefs® Understanding Diversity (Key Workplace Terms)
New Micro-Learning! Workplace diversity is not an option — it is a reality. And the true value of that diversity allows organizations to draw on a fuller range of experiences - allowing them to think more creatively and avoid biased decision-making. But when it comes to workplace diversity, there are some key terms you must understand in order to overcome the very issues that prevent us from embracing and leveraging the full power of diversity. We’ll define and discuss a few of those key terms in this course.
TrainingBriefs® Let’s Not Shake Hands
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.
TrainingBriefs® Understanding Workplace Equity
New Micro-Learning! Equity in a workplace means everyone receives fair treatment. That means there is transparency, and everyone knows what to expect in terms of consequences and rewards. In other words, equity is what happens when all members of a diverse group of employees have equal opportunities and support to succeed and grow!
TrainingBriefs® Can She Hack It?
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.
TrainingBriefs® Workplace Inclusion
New Micro-Learning! Diversity awareness and inclusion means recognizing and responding to the needs of various groups within the workforce to improve working relationships within our organization and teams. Diversity is a given. It simply exists. But… creating an inclusive team environment that values diversity helps us achieve our organization’s goals – both cultural and financial.
TrainingBriefs® Addressing Stereotypes
New Micro-Learning! Sometimes people look at another group as being different just based upon skin color or racial traits. It’s often easy to see other human beings as different if you look at them through the “We – Them” mindset. This depersonalizes people.
TrainingBriefs® Explicit Bias
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.
TrainingBriefs® Embracing Inclusion
New Micro-Learning! Inclusion is about recognizing and responding to the needs of all employees. It’s talking about co-workers in a supportive way, rather than criticizing them behind their backs. Most importantly, inclusion is about making sure work assignments and activities, including work-related social events, do not exclude or disadvantage anyone.
TrainingBriefs® Inclusion Is for Everybody
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.
TrainingBriefs® Understanding Exclusive Behaviors
New Micro-Learning! Exclusive behaviors in the workplace are any behaviors that make an employee feel like they are not a part of the group in which they belong. Examples of such behavior include greeting co-workers inconsistently; leaving people out of meetings, discussions, and activities... and more!
TrainingBriefs® Understanding Team Dynamics
New Micro-Learning! You may be familiar with the saying, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” As it pertains to teams, this means a well-organized group of people can achieve more by working cooperatively than individually.
TrainingBriefs® Workplace Stereotypes
New Micro-Learning! Stereotypes are over-generalized beliefs about a particular category of people. Stereotypes are generalized because one assumes that the stereotype is true for each individual person in the category. Everyone within an organization has a responsibility to ensure that the work culture promotes a professional work environment by demonstrating appropriate behavior.

TrainingBriefs® Using Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns are the words that we use to refer to ourselves and others in place of names, such as he, she, they, ella, etc. These pronouns are not just grammatical markers, but also expressions of identity and respect. Using the correct personal pronouns for someone shows that you acknowledge and value their gender identity, which may or may not align with their biological sex or appearance. Using the wrong personal pronouns for someone, intentionally or unintentionally, can cause them to feel invalidated, disrespected, or even discriminated against.
