The Illinois Human Rights Act makes it a civil rights violation for any employer, employee, agent of any employer, employment agency or labor organization to engage in sexual harassment. The Illinois General Assembly finds that tolerance of sexual harassment has a detrimental influence in workplaces by creating a hostile environment for employees, reducing productivity, and increasing legal liability. The State of Illinois encourages employers to adopt and actively implement policies to ensure their workplaces are safe for employees to report concerns about sexual harassment without fear of retaliation, loss of status, or loss of promotional opportunities. Every employer in the State of Illinois is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training that complies with section 2-109 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA).

We use the term “bias” to describe when we have a preference for, or an aversion to, a person or group of people, instead of being neutral. “Implicit” means we aren’t aware of these thoughts or feelings, or that we have mistaken their true nature. Implicit biases can lead to negative perceptions about someone based on irrelevant characteristics, like their race or gender.
We all have implicit bias. The trick is learning to identify them and knowing what to do about them.
In this microlearning module, we’ll discuss how we can begin to identify our implicit biases. We’ll also learn how to begin unlearning our own implicit biases, both as individuals and as organizations. Course expiration date: 5/30/2025

Cultivating a healthy workplace environment is conducive to success, not only for the organization but also for individual employees.

It is the responsibility of leadership to foster a welcoming workplace by implementing a culture of diversity, inclusion, and belonging that is ingrained within the organization, not just as a policy or program. This course will cover how diversity, inclusion, and belonging can be created and promoted in the workplace.
