TrainingBriefs® The Boys Club
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.
TrainingBriefs® The Greatest Generation?
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.
M.E.E.T. Zero Tolerance™: Enforcing Zero Tolerance with Fairness and Respect (eLearning Course)
Enforce zero-tolerance policies with fairness and respect. Although most zero-tolerance policies seem pretty clear, when the human dynamic is added to the equation, the solution may no longer be so clear cut. This makes the manager’s job of enforcing the policy much more challenging. This course is designed to show how to enforce zero-tolerance situations at work while maintaining fairness, equity and respect for all employees.
Affirmative Action: An Overview
Affirmative action plays an important role within many organizations. The purpose of affirmative action is to establish fair access to employment opportunities to create a workforce that is an accurate reflection of the demographics of the qualified available workforce in the relevant job market. Affirmative action policies and programs are tools whereby additional efforts are made to recruit, hire, and promote qualified women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities. This course provides an overview of affirmative action and it's role in diversity and EEO programs.
F.A.I.R. in Action™ for Managers (eLearning)
Diversity is about understanding the unique characteristics of the various groups that make up your business environment (such as customers, managers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders). The paradox of diversity is that sometimes people may have to be treated differently in order to be treated fairly. F.A.I.R. in Action is designed to help you recognize and respond to those similarities and differences and understand what diversity really is and when it matters most in the workplace.
TrainingBriefs® Generational Communication Barriers
New Micro-Learning! Workplaces across the country are adjusting to a new reality. Baby Boomers are remaining as active workforce participants. Meanwhile, the first members of Generation Z, roughly defined as those born since the mid-nineties, will soon be beginning their careers and will make up a large share of the labor market soon. Due to communication differences among generations, communication styles can often be a problem.
TrainingBriefs® Generational Diversity: Age Does Matter
New Micro-Learning! Managing across generational lines can be challenging for a manager of ANY generation. Our ability to do it well can make huge differences in our organization's ability to recruit and retain talented people, increase productivity and create and maintain a respectful workplace.
TrainingBriefs® Generational Diversity: Work Styles
New Micro-Learning! Different work styles are major source of conflict and frustration between the generations. Each generation has different viewpoints toward the workplace. Working on a team that is comprised of different generations really creates challenge when the group has to tackle a common problem or project.
TrainingBriefs® Generations in the Workplace - Feeling Valued
New Micro-Learning! We are all shaped by our life experiences, people who have similar life experiences tend to think and respond to situations more similarly than others who didn’t share those experiences. At the heart of most of the conflict and misunderstanding that develops between employees of different generations are communication styles and core motivations, and sometimes, the reluctance to change.
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® It’s About Respect (Managers)
New Micro-Learning! It often happens that managers honestly believe themselves to be neutral on issues of race, sexual orientation, national origin, age or gender. But the reality is that employees need to be recognized for their differences in order to feel respected.
TrainingBriefs® Religious Terms & Information
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.
TrainingBriefs® Respecting Religious Diversity
New Micro-Learning! Managers often get busy and can’t always be on top of everything. Yet sometimes they can unknowingly send a message that excludes an employee. When the exclusion occurs because of something related to the employee’s religion, it can be serious.
TrainingBriefs® That’s Generation Z?
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.
TrainingBriefs® The Hidden Bias Trap
New Micro-Learning! As our world becomes increasingly diverse, 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.
Got Diversity & Inclusion?™ Cultural Competence (An Overview)
This new course will help users identify the conceptual levels of cultural competence - the ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. Users will also be able to identify the elements of the MEET™ model, which will help them resolve misunderstandings and differences – thus helping you maintain relationships.
Got Respect?® Unintended Exclusive Behaviors
A sense of belonging is a natural, basic need. Part of how you define yourself depends on what types of groups to which you belong: family units, social groups, religious affiliations, and common interest groups such as fitness, music or hobbies. The need to feel like you belong doesn’t end when you enter the workplace. By the end of this course, you will be able to identify exclusive and inclusive behaviors and the effects they have on the work environment.
LearningBytes® Diversity 101 - Don’t Know What You Got™
Unconscious (hidden) biases can distort our perception of reality. We all have them. This course defines unconscious bias and how to understand and address it within the workplace.
LearningBytes® Diversity 101 - Merge Ahead™
Quite often, diversity and inclusion go beyond race, gender and ethnicity. Organizational diversity includes work habits and values that are affected by time zone differences, commuting patterns, virtual teams and geographic distance.
LearningBytes® Diversity 101 - What Did She Say?™
Many organizations want and need people who speak different languages. Typically, there are no organization requirements that only English can be spoken at work. This course addresses concerns and the ability to be inclusive while speaking a foreign language in front of others.
