Everyday Diversity™ An Introduction to Diversity Recruiting & Hiring
Are you curious how diversity can help your team be more innovative and impact your culture? To begin, we need to know that diversity is a term that doesn’t apply to just a few things … like race and gender… diversity also encompasses people from different cultures or regions of the country. Or, it could be people of different ages or educational backgrounds.
Video Vignettes Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Diversity Dynamics, Hiring & Recruiting, Inclusion / Equity / Belonging, Learning Reinforcement, Respect / Respectfulness, Retention Aid, Unconscious / Hidden Bias
Everyday Diversity™ Avoiding Bias in Hiring
Bias impacts how we see candidates and often limits our ability to find and hire the best talent. Why? Because we often make assumptions about the candidates. Everyone makes assumptions about others... it's a natural part of how we interact with each other. Probably more times than we'd like to admit, we let appearances impact the way we think and treat others.
Video Vignettes Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Diversity Dynamics, Hiring & Recruiting, Inclusion / Equity / Belonging, Learning Reinforcement, Respect / Respectfulness, Retention Aid, Unconscious / Hidden Bias
Everyday Diversity™ Exploring Filters
When it comes to interacting with others in the workplace, we all have filters. Our filters are made up of our experiences, our upbringing, beliefs… and so much more. When it comes down to it, these filters impact how we perceive and understand the world around us. The key is learning how to use these filters to our advantage!

Everyday Diversity™ Keeping Diverse Candidates
So, you hired the candidate you’ve been looking for? Well, your job’s not done. You simply can’t let them fend for themselves. You need to work on keeping them… by making a conscious effort to make them feel included – AND an integral part of the organization. How do we do that? First, introduce them to people in the company who can be of assistance – on the big and the small stuff.

FMLA - Informing Employees of Their Rights & Policies

Video Vignettes Ethics & Compliance, Leadership Compliance, Communication, Management, Professionalism
FMLA - Key Actions to Stay in Compliance
Key actions discussed: Call your HR department whenever employees are out for 4 days or more, or whenever a potential FMLA issue arises.

FMLA - Reduced Schedules & Leaves
One of the biggest issues that managers struggle with is the requirement to give reduced schedules or intermittent leave, especially in the case of chronic conditions, and how that may relate to the Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA. A serious health condition or disability may require an employee to work a reduced schedule.
Video Vignettes Ethics & Compliance, Leadership Compliance, Communication, Management, Professionalism
FMLA - Returning to Work
As tempting as it may be, when an employee is on an FMLA leave, you can't demand that he or she come back to work; even if you offer to make a reasonable accommodation, like a flexible schedule or assignment to light duty work.
Video Vignettes Ethics & Compliance, Leadership Compliance, Communication, Management, Professionalism
FMLA - What Qualifies for FMLA Leave?
You should not be the one to make a final determination on whether or not something is a "serious health condition." That should always be left to your HR department. However, you do need to have at least a working knowledge of what qualifies as a "serious health condition" and all the other reasons an employee's time off can be designated as an FMLA leave.

Just Tell Them I'm Not Here
Digitally Remastered! You know, one of the things that's easy to forget is that our team members pay attention to every little thing we say and do. Like it or not, we set the example. And when we ask an employee to do something that's questionable—like making up an excuse because we've forgotten something or don't want to deal with someone— it has an impact. It might not seem like much at the time, but all those "little tears" can eventually begin to rip our organization's integrity fabric to pieces. As leaders, we need to hold ourselves and our peers accountable to make sure that doesn't happen.

Being uncomfortable with silence during an interview may be the most common problem interviewers face, and most will just change the subject and move on. But look at it this way.

So respect silence.
