LearningBytes® Diversity 101 – Seriously, at Work?™
Interactions between people of the same sex are sometimes interpreted as inappropriate or offensive - when in fact the behavior is within the range of acceptable conduct. Gender and gender identity continue to present significant challenges in the workplace due to strongly held traditions, beliefs and values.
TrainingBriefs® I’m Not Biased
Biases are the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, perceptions and decisions. Going deeper, bias also refers to the persistent, harmful, and unequal treatment of someone based solely on some characteristic they possess or their apparent membership in or identification with a particular group. Stereotype is often defined as a generalized belief about a particular category of people. An example of a stereotype might be “All Asians are good at math.”
TrainingBriefs® The Ally
New Micro-Learning! Building an inclusive workplace means that people can be authentic in the workplace. We can bring our whole selves to work and not be worried about belonging. Creating an inclusive workplace sometimes means stepping up… and sticking up for others. Being an ally isn’t always easy, but it’s the right thing to do to foster respect and encourage a sense a belonging for marginalized coworkers.

The festival is a national holiday in many countries with large Muslim populations.
TrainingBriefs® Embracing Other Cultures (Holi)

Holi usually marks the happy transition from harsh, dark winter to brighter, warmer springtime - symbolic of the triumph of good over evil.
TrainingBriefs® Embracing Other Cultures (Juneteenth)

On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden declared Juneteenth an official federal holiday.
TrainingBriefs® Embracing Other Cultures (Passover)
Understanding and embracing other cultures is a key part of creating an inclusive workplace free of bias and stereotypes. This course provides an overview of the Jewish holiday – Passover. Passover (sometimes called the Festival of Unleavened Bread) commemorates the Hebrews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt and the “passing over” (or the sparing) of the firstborn of the Israelites, on the eve of their exodus from Egypt.
TrainingBriefs® Speak English!
New Micro-Learning! Speaking in a foreign language can be tiring and more challenging. Though English is the widely accepted language, there are certain instances when employees may not speak English and may choose to use their native tongue. When others do not know the language being spoken, it may cause people to feel like they are on the outside - which is in direct opposition to creating an inclusive workplace.
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® 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® What Language Is That?
New Micro-Learning! While it can be frustrating not being able to communicate easily, the reality is that everyone in the world has an accent. We only notice it when we are speaking with people who don’t share our native language. For customers who are speaking in a language that is not their native tongue, it can be extremely frustrating for them and getting upset with them won’t help the situation.
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® Diversity in Recruiting & Hiring
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?
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® Embracing Assistance
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.

If you answered yes to either of these questions, you may be losing out on new insights and ideas that could maximize your team performance and organizations bottom line.
TrainingBriefs® The Negative Impact of Unconscious Bias
New Micro-Learning! The term bias may be used to describe both positive and negative mindsets towards individuals and groups. Negative bias refers to the persistent, harmful and unequal treatment of someone based solely on some characteristic they possess or their apparent membership in or identification with a particular group.
TrainingBriefs® The Negative Impact of Unconscious Bias (Managers)
New Micro-Learning! Bias refers to the persistent, harmful and unequal treatment of someone based solely on some characteristic they possess or their apparent membership in or identification with a particular group. By being self-aware and willing to engage with others when bias is unintentionally implied or expressed, we can better resolve problems and promote more effective working relationships.
