"Millennials in the Workplace" Chad Frazell, Vice President of Human Resources, Kohl's Department Stores. "Dealing with Race and Diversity in a Politically Correct World: Why It Might Just Matter to You" Dr. Sam Richards, Co-director Race Relations Project, Penn State.

Conversations can quickly escalate into accusations and people can suddenly find that their careers and reputations have been put into jeopardy. Clearly this does not lead to an environment that is conducive to building a solid team of employees in any workplace organization. |
