Inclusive Language Training

"We just don't have the manpower!" "The master device is online but we still have some work before the slave is active." Sound familiar?
Creating a truly inclusive workplace requires a commitment to understanding and dismantling prejudice, bias, and exclusionary behavior at every level of an organization. That includes closely monitoring our language to avoid using any terms or colloquialisms that are rooted in misogyny, bigotry, oppression, and intolerance. By going the extra mile and employing language that is inclusive of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and ages, we foster more inclusive, productive, and egalitarian work environments.
