TrainingBriefs® A Good Fit?

Assumptions & Generalizations

There is a real danger that comes from making assumptions based on one aspect of a person - such as their name. We all want to be seen as a whole person and our name is just one part of who we are. This type of over-generalization can often be very subtle. When we make decisions, like hiring, based on just the name of a candidate, we exhibit stereotyping. We should instead look not for culture fit but for a culture add – what a person can bring to the team.

Additional Information

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.
