Inclusion is making sure everyone has an opportunity to fully participate in the workplace – to be on the team. 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.

Whether subtle or overt, discrimination based upon race is illegal. This video situation shows an employee who felt they were targeted or assigned specific territories (red lining) because of their race. The law prohibits organizations from assigning primarily minorities to predominantly minority establishments or geographic areas.

A Hole in One… (from The Future of Work™)
Technology is definitely a factor in a lot of situations and generational misunderstandings. Many in today’s workforce grew up with technology. For them, information has always been a click away. Different ways of working can sometimes cause confusion and keep us from connecting or being effective. Sometimes we need to explore our differences and develop ways to work together more effectively. The M.E.E.T.® model can help us learn from each other in mutually beneficial ways.

I’m Calling My Therapist! (from The Future of Work™)
Wellbeing is important to the overall quality of life and research has shown that it’s a higher priority than ever before as Millennials and Generation Z become the majority of the workforce. Some work habits, while commonly accepted, are not sustainable and often lead to burnout and other serious health consequences. Employee wellbeing contributes to organizational wellbeing and operational effectiveness. It has become a priority for many employers.

That Was the Most Bizarre Meeting! (from The Future of Work™)
Ageism has to do with people being discounted because of their age… being seen as too young or too old. Treating people differently in employment based on things like age can be unlawful. Bias based on age is a reality. Examples of age-related bias are coded comments such as someone is “set in their ways,” or “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Being passed over for opportunity - assumptions such as older workers don’t understand technology and that younger workers are immature - are all examples of bias at work.

What Did I Say? (from The Future of Work™)
During a team meeting, you had an employee or staff member who uses a disrespectful word without realizing it. What do you do? Shaming and blaming can get in the way of our learning... and our relationships. That means we need to know how to recognize, respond, and recover when something we say, hear or observe is offensive or has a harmful impact on others. That’s what inclusion in action means… taking intentional actions to stay connected and support belonging.

When the Boss Calls a Meeting… (from The Future of Work™)
When generational communication differences cause misunderstandings about things like work requirements and work/life balance, what do you do? Our generational differences do influence our views about authority, and hierarchy. They also impact the things we say and how we say them. Many organizations have inherited traditional structures and practices that are rooted in militaristic approaches popular in the past. Using the M.E.E.T.® model is like having a coach helping us through the process. That way we create shared understanding, new agreements, and clear expectations.

SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
When we perpetuate stereotypes about people based on things like their appearance or where they come from, not only is it unprofessional and disrespectful… it also can be illegal. Actions and even conversations about a co-worker based on their national origin or ethnicity is a violation of policy and can lead to legal issues if not stopped. Yes, we all have a right to think what we want to think. But… it's critical that we refrain from expressing those kinds of views - publicly or privately – by words or actions, in the workplace.

Meet Kim Foo...
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Sometimes we don’t realize that our comments or jokes are a form of ridicule and disrespect when they play off stereotypes. These kinds of jokes often offend people in the workplace or make them feel excluded. Managers need to help employees see the impact of their behavior on working relationships (and the workplace in general).

This is My Wife, Kelly...
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
You have an employee who tells you they can't believe a coworker is a lesbian. They also tell you that they can no longer work with that employee. As a manager, what do you do? Ideally, organizational policies will give you some guidance on how to address sexual orientation questions and issues - from a compliance standpoint. But beyond that, there are team morale and productivity issues that need to be addressed when and if this type of situation arises.

Maximized Leadership™ Understanding & Beating Bias
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Bias is something we all have, and by itself, it’s neither good nor bad. It’s a conscious or unconscious judgment we make based on information we have learned from our own experiences or by what we have been taught by others. To further enhance our skills as a leader we must tackle any biases that create negative relationships or impede an inclusive workplace.
