TrainingBriefs® A Good Fit?

When it comes to creating an inclusive workplace – whether for current or even future employees – it’s important to work towards creating a sense of belonging. We need to:

• Speak up if someone is having a hard time pronouncing a name and tell them how to say it.
• Learn a bit more about the name so that you can share this with people if they are being negative about it.
• Say something positive about different kinds of names.
• Support all employees in the appropriate pronunciation of their names and to watch for any type of assumption or stereotyping that starts from someone’s name.
