Course overview
You want your workplace to be welcoming to everyone there, right? Well, one of the ways to do this is by using gender-inclusive language. That means eliminating your use of certain phrases that refer to only one gender. Or even phrases that speak only to men and women, excluding people of nonbinary genders. In this program, we'll help you eliminate, or at least, reduce, your use of language that isn't gender-inclusive. We'll discuss language in recruiting, the "guys" problem, and negative gendered language.
