Description
Merriam-Webster defines "ism" as an "oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or belief." Terms like this do not belong in the workplace, but unfortunately, people engage in these kinds of discrimination without even realizing it. This happens due to a fear of the unknown, or failing to understand the issue. In this program, we'll educate viewers by focusing on six isms of discrimination and some stereotypes that accompany them. We'll also discuss how these attitudes are detrimental to organizations.
