Answer 1

Unconscious bias can be a challenge in any workplace, but it is especially important to be aware of it in the workplace because it can lead to discrimination and harassment against others.

Be mindful of the language you use. Pay attention to the words you choose and make sure they are inclusive and respectful of all people.

Think about who you are speaking to and what the purpose of your communication is. This will help you to choose language that is appropriate for the situation.
