According to the Denver Post:
"Workplace-bias cases in Colorado grew at nearly triple the national rate over the past five years, according to statistics compiled by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission."I find this to be astonishing. I suppose I shouldn't, we've only just now entered into a new administration where the value of people seem to be of importance, but I still find it remarkable that with all the resources available for workplace education, these occurances happen at this rate.
Gender studies, affirmative action, LGBT centers, employee resource groups, diversity specialists, and dozens of other ways to teach your managers about dealing with inclusion issues, and we still have these issues.
I'm certain I am idealistic in my dreams for a fully inclusive society, but can't we get just a little closer?
