LearningBytes® Diversity 101 – Spreading Rumors™

Spreading false information or accusations concerning employees is often a violation of organizational policy. Employees engaged in this behavior often forget the disruptive effect on relationships in their workplace – even worse, forget it could be seen as contributing to possible harassment or a hostile environment situation.
Any employee can address a situation involving diversity and inclusion dynamics. You never know when they are going to show up. Always remember, an inclusive workplace is one that discourages gossip and malicious rumors.
