TrainingBriefs® Why Equity Matters
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Workplace equity refers to the fair and just treatment of all employees regardless of their backgrounds or identities, with an emphasis on creating an inclusive workplace where everyone has equal access to opportunities for professional growth and success. In order to create a workplace culture that prioritizes equity, organizations need to be intentional about their efforts. This means actively seeking out diverse candidates for employment, providing equal access to opportunities for professional growth and advancement, and creating a culture of respect and inclusivity. It also means investing in training and education for all employees to help them understand and recognize the impact of bias and discrimination in the workplace.
TrainingBriefs® Using Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns are the words that we use to refer to ourselves and others in place of names, such as he, she, they, etc. These pronouns are not just grammatical markers, but also expressions of identity and respect. Using the correct personal pronouns for someone shows that you acknowledge and value their gender identity, which may or may not align with their biological sex or appearance. Using the wrong personal pronouns for someone, intentionally or unintentionally, can cause them to feel invalidated, disrespected, or even discriminated against.
TrainingBriefs® Understanding Microaggressions
New Micro-Learning! We all know the definition of bias, right? It’s the negative or positive assumptions usually applied to groups of people. It can be blatant (also known as explicit) or subtle. It can also be unintentional and unconscious. 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.
TrainingBriefs® Why Creating a Sense of Belonging Matters
Belonging is that feeling of security and support - a sense of inclusion and acceptance within a group. It’s when an individual can bring their authentic self to work. By creating genuine feelings of belonging for all, an organization improves both engagement and performance. In today's increasingly diverse workplace, it's more important than ever for organizations to cultivate a culture of belonging. That’s a place in which all employees feel included, respected, and valued, regardless of their race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristic. When employees feel like they belong, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and committed to their work, which benefits our organization as a whole.
TrainingBriefs® Why Respect Matters
Respect sets the tone for the overall organizational culture. A culture of respect promotes fairness, integrity, and ethical behavior, which strengthens our organization's values and identity. When workplace respect is prioritized and consistently practiced, it creates a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment, leading to increased job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being of the workforce.
TrainingBriefs® Why Trust Matters
Trust is the foundation of any successful organization. Trust means that employees have confidence in each other's abilities, intentions, and actions. Trust also means that employees feel safe to express their opinions, share their ideas, and collaborate with their colleagues. Leaders play a crucial role in promoting trust in the workplace by setting an example through their behavior and fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.
TrainingBriefs® I’m Stressed!
The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. Stress becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors. As a result, the person becomes overworked, and stress-related tension builds.
TrainingBriefs® Bias and the Brain

TrainingBriefs® Telecommuting (Tips and Tricks)

Training Briefs® Doesn't Interact Well with Others
Being a manager or supervisor is a fulfilling role. But as you know, there are times where you’ll need to tackle tough situations.
