Inappropriate touching in the workplace - regardless of gender - is any unwelcome, non-consensual physical contact that violates personal boundaries and creates a hostile work environment. It can range from groping and massaging to holding hands and hugging. Inappropriate touching can be considered sexual harassment when it is severe or pervasive, meaning that it is either very serious or happens frequently. Do you know what to look out for when it comes to potential harassment?

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.
TrainingBytes® Lunch is On Me!
Each of us has a moral code. Sometimes that code is very clear to us. We may know we wouldn’t steal a jacket from a store or that we wouldn’t violently harm someone else. Sometimes, though, we aren’t quite as clear about how we’ll respond, especially when we’re caught off-guard and don’t have a lot of time to think about our response. We may want to please the other person, or we may think the other person won’t like us if we don’t do as asked.
TrainingBytes® The Invitation
Being a target of quid pro quo sexual harassment creates a workplace that's toxic. We all have the right to work in an environment free of harassment. Sexual harassment affects all of us, directly or indirectly. If not addressed, sexual harassment will create a hostile work environment that can lead to an expensive lawsuit.

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.
TrainingBytes® Let Me Get That For You
Under federal law, discrimination based on sexual orientation is illegal. In several states and local jurisdictions, there are laws which provide additional protections from harassment and discrimination based on perceived - as well as actual - sexual orientation. And if this kind of behavior happens in one of those places, coworkers may very well end up on the wrong side of a hostile environment harassment lawsuit.
TrainingBytes® Make My Day...
Third party sexual harassment is a form of sexual harassment that occurs when someone who is not an employee of the organization, such as a customer, client, or vendor, harasses an employee. This can create a hostile, offensive, or intimidating work environment for the target of the harassment, and affect their performance, well-being, and rights.
TrainingBytes® The Critique
When it comes to inappropriate workplace comments (even joking and innuendo), sometimes it takes voicing your objections to the person more than once before they get the message. The idea is to be consistent. Each time that their behavior crosses the line you must confront them. Now, if you don't feel comfortable confronting them, document each incident and then go to human resources about the situation. This type of behavior is unacceptable.
TrainingBytes® You're Gonna Lose
Do your employees/staff/leaders know the subtle differences between inappropriate, unprofessional or illegal workplace behavior? Simply asking a question about a woman's natural hair color… isn't unlawful in and of itself. But what if a comment was made regarding an ongoing bet about a co-worker? Could it be considered hostile environment sexual harassment?
TrainingBytes® Go Home, Foreigner!
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.

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.
Maximized Leadership™ Helping Employees Feel They Belong
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Everyone needs and wants to feel accepted, included, heard… and be a part of something bigger than themselves. It’s a basic human need - as important to us as food… clothing… or shelter. Helping others feel like they belong is the cornerstone of inclusive leadership. Part of how we define ourselves depends on what types of groups to which we belong: family units, social groups, religious affiliations, and common interest groups such as fitness, music or hobbies. The need to feel like we belong doesn’t end when we enter our place of work.
TrainingBytes® Microaggressions & Everyday Interactions™
Sometimes people don’t recognize when and how racial bias is expressed in our society and in day-to-day workplace interactions. Microaggressions tend to be the everyday, subtle interactions or behaviors that communicate some sort of bias toward another person or group. They can be intentional or unintentional and sometimes even well-meaning.
Maximized Leadership™ Understanding Empathy
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another person's position. It’s a powerful tool to build and maintain relationships – both inside and outside the workplace!
TrainingBytes® I'm The Only One...™

Maximized Leadership™ Leveraging Positive Reinforcement

Leaders and managers today are going at full speed - all the time. So, a lot of them think, "When do I have extra time to worry about redirecting employees?"

TrainingBytes® Please Call Me Jessica, Not Bill™
Transitioning to a different gender is a deeply personal decision. There are many unknowns and the added stress of how the workplace will accept the transitioning employee is very real. When discussing with and supporting (being an ally) an employee or co-worker going through the transition, the bottom line and key to personal and team success is simple... it all comes down to respect. This powerful video captures the emotion and fears of a transitioning employee.
TrainingBytes® Unconscious Bias in Action
We don’t like to think of ourselves as having biases toward others. The fact is many of these biases exist in our society and in our memory and are sometimes expressed unknowingly. 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.
