Blindspots and Inappropriate Behavior

The Workplace Color Spectrum® Series

Sometimes, it’s difficult for people to respond to an inappropriate comment, especially in the workplace. Bad behavior can happen because of our blindspots. How can co-workers be allies when they hear an inappropriate comment? They can use the colors in the Workplace Color Spectrum® to make it simple and easy to provide feedback.

Microlesson Description

In this microlesson, we illustrate how co-workers can provide instant feedback in a non-confrontational way when they see inappropriate behavior. If we all give feedback when we see bad behavior, we'll create a more respectful workplace.
