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.

Course Description
This course reviews the definition of inclusive language, its importance and basic principles, as well as best practices for receiving feedback and correcting ourselves when we are made aware of our own problematic behavior or language. The course is broken down into an introduction, and three main lessons: Inclusive Language Creates Belonging, and The Principles of Inclusive Language. Each of the main lessons is also available as an individual microlesson.
