The language we use in the workplace can have a big impact on how much our colleagues feel like they belong and are included. This course will teach you how to use language in a way that is respectful, inclusive, and supportive. You will learn about the different types of language that can be harmful or exclusionary, and you will develop skills for using language that is more inclusive and welcoming.
The course will also cover the science behind language use and how it can influence decision-making and behaviour. You will learn about the ways in which language can be used to perpetuate power imbalances and inequality. This knowledge will help you to be more mindful of your own language use and to make more intentional choices about the words you use.
By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of the power of language and how you can use it to create a more inclusive and welcoming workplace.
