The Uh Oh Syndrome: From Intolerance to Inclusion

By entertaining new ideas and practicing to be open-minded, we are able to change the way we view diversity and the world around us. This online program guides the viewer through a journey from avoidance to inclusion by teaching ways to include everyone in the everyday world of business.

The “Uh Oh Syndrome” explains how individuals have pre-set ideas of people who sound, act, and look different than they do. This training video provides the viewer with methods to change their mental models of individuals different than themselves. “Mental Models,” or those ideas set by culture and stereotypes, are important to avoid in the workplace. Especially in the case of team or group environments, positive mental models and being open-minded can increase the productivity and happiness in the workplace. Personal and professional intolerance is looked at as well, with a focus on inclusion for all in any environment.

This training program is perfect for those looking for a professional and accessible video on diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
