Workplace sensitivity is about ensuring that everyone in the workplace is respected and treated appropriately, regardless of who they are. Just as we want people to show respect to our feelings and ways of living, so too must we show respect to others. The idea of treating everyone with respect and fairness may sound simple, but often individuals fall back on stereotypes and assumptions when making decisions about people. If left unchecked, these negative attitudes and behaviors can turn a safe, productive workplace into a toxic environment that can lead to costly discrimination and harassment claims. This interactive course is designed to raise awareness around the benefits of respect, civility and inclusion by acknowledging others’ differences and fostering a more inclusive workplace.
