Steering Clear of Discrimination as a Manager

Welcome to the “Steering Clear of Discrimination as a Manager” video lesson intended to describe the importance of being fair in all you do as a manager and how you can avoid discriminatory behavior. Discriminatory behavior can manifest in many ways in the workplace, and it’s illegal if it’s based on someone’s membership in or association with a protected class. All too often, it takes the form of an adverse job action performed by a manager. So, it’s critical that you’re aware of the legal landscape of discrimination to ensure you don’t do anything illegal. Plus, from this lesson, you’ll learn about best practices you can employ to monitor your behavior and ensure you always behave professionally and appropriately.
