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® The New Normal
New Micro-Learning! Biases and stereotypes based on national origin or heritage can lead to unfounded and negative comments and actions that can ruin relationships and reputations. This type of harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated in our organization!
TrainingBriefs® The Post-Pandemic Workplace
New Micro-Learning! Returning to the office raises a lot of questions. It’s everyone’s job to make sure we create a workplace that is safe and respectful! During these trying times, communication will go a long way towards reducing fear and unfounded rumor/gossip. As we progress, you might see new changes. New policies. New procedures implemented within our workplace.
TrainingBriefs® I Can’t Pronounce That Name!
New Micro-Learning! When we meet new people, we can be unfamiliar with how to pronounce their names. But what happens when we let someone’s name interfere with our judgment? When we make decisions - like hiring - based on just a name of a candidate, we definitely exhibit bias. We should instead look not for culture fit but for a culture add – what can a person bring to the team.
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.
TrainingBriefs® Team Cohesion (Diversity Moments)
New Micro-Learning! Being a successful manager requires being able to juggle numerous work priorities while keeping your balance. One of the priorities you must juggle is developing and maintaining a cohesive and productive team - easier said than done! A diverse workforce creates a diverse range of opinions, attitudes, and perspectives – and all that diversity can result in conflict, tension, and frustration leading to lost productivity – and possibly even a disruption to customer service.
TrainingBriefs® Third Party Harassment
New Micro-Learning! Outside (also known as third party) harassment, especially sexual harassment, can lead to serious legal actions filed against individuals and organizations. Just because they are not employees of your organization does not mean their behaviors are acceptable or legal.
TrainingBriefs® Involving Your Audience
New Micro-Learning! Involving the audience helps actively engage and manage their attention. It gets their minds off of the other priorities in their life and focused on you message. In this module, you’ll learn the importance of grabbing the interest of your audience and maintaining it.
TrainingBriefs® Planned Spontaneous Recognition
New Micro-Learning! You want high performance from your employees. You push them to give you exceptional results. In doing so you often raise stress levels-theirs and yours! This can create a potentially explosive situation. If you want to diffuse that possibility and keep your team motivated, try introducing Planned Spontaneous Recognition.
TrainingBriefs® That’s Not Funny!
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.
TrainingBriefs® Recognizing Inappropriate Humor
New Micro-Learning! What do cable news hosts, political bumper stickers, and religious jokes have in common? The answer is that some of them are funny, while others find them deeply offensive. It’s important to know that inappropriate humor can be the basis for a discrimination law suit.
TrainingBriefs® Free Speech at Work
New Micro-Learning! It's important to know that the First Amendment right to free speech is not unlimited or does not outweigh the organization’s right to maintain a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. In this course, you'll learn about prohibited behavior in the workplace - as an employee exercises what he sees as his right to free speech.
TrainingBriefs® Micro-Inequities in the Workplace
No matter what the words we say, our actual communication (what others understand about and from us) is influenced by our expression, gestures and tone of voice. In fact, research has shown that only a small percentage of the brain processes verbal communication. Micro-inequities are repeated, subtle, often unconscious messages that devalue or discourage. Our focus on workforce diversity and inclusion underscores the importance of demonstrating respect for individual differences, such as personal styles, work habits, physical characteristics and life circumstances.
TrainingBriefs® Defamation of Character
New Micro-Learning! Gossip is one of those areas where it's easy to find us on the wrong side of the line. While it may seem like harmless water cooler talk, it's not. Not only is gossip unprofessional because it destroys respect and trust in the workplace; it can also get our organization and us into a lot of trouble.

When employees fail to behave ethically and violate organizational policy, you must act swiftly to address the behavior and take the appropriate disciplinary action. Doing so will help protect the organization and avoid sending the wrong message throughout the workforce. Promptly responding to violations of policy is one of many ethical issues that come up in the workplace.
TrainingBriefs® Accepting and Giving Gifts
Updated! The acceptance of gifts, services, and hospitality can leave an organization vulnerable to accusations of unfairness, partiality, deceit, or even unlawful conduct. This is one of many ethical issues that come up in the workplace.
TrainingBriefs® Accepting Your New Role
New Micro-Learning! Being a manager, supervisor or team leader can be an extremely rewarding position. It also is challenging, and, at times, frustrating to be caught between your team and the management team you report to. In especially challenging times, keep in mind that you were selected because of your skills and potential that people higher up in the organization recognize in you.
TrainingBriefs® An Employee Who Threatens an Outsider
New Micro-Learning! If an employee has threatened someone outside your organization, it may be a warning sign of an employee who is under stress and having a difficult time maintaining control of his or her emotions. If you fail to act, you could end up facing a hostile work environment lawsuit. Direct intervention at an early stage really does make a difference.
