Why is OUCH! important?

Staying silent in the face of demeaning comments, stereotypes or bias allows these attitudes and behaviors to thrive. This undermines our ability to create an inclusive workplace where all employees are welcomed, treated with respect and able to do their best work.

Yet, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don't know how. So, we say nothing. OUCH!

OUCH! is ideal for:

• Diversity & Inclusion
• Teamwork
• Communication
• Leadership
  

OUCH! Learning Objectives:

Understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements, even when casually said Identify the most common reasons people sit silent in the face of bias and stereotypes.  

• Enhance skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt

Testimonial:

Finally, a video that shows the viewer exactly how to respond in moments of diversity-related tension! No blame, no guilt, no conflict – just practical, specific skills that can be immediately applied in the workplace. OUCH! is a must-have and a must-see for anyone seeking to create and sustain a respectful workplace. 
 – Sondra Thiederman, Ph.D., Author, Making Diversity Work: Seven Steps for Defeating Bias in the Workplace

Relevant Quote:
The simple act of naming a bias as such or objecting to it on the spot establishes a social atmosphere that discourages it: saying nothing serves to condone it.
