That Stereotype Hurts&#8221; training workshops to help participants explore communication skills for promoting inclusion and respect in the workplace. <\/p>\n<p>Based on the book, &#8220;Communicating Respectfully In A Diverse World,&#8221; by Leslie Aguilar, the &#8220;Ouch!&#8221; training is designed to create a dialogue among employees in a respectful manner.<\/p>\n<p>The simple act of naming a bias as such or objecting to it on the spot establishes a social atmosphere that discourages bias.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop is intended to teach effective techniques for speaking up in the face of demeaning comments, as well as help participants understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Members of the UNMC diversity and inclusivity committees, as well as the human resources organization, all took part in the training workshop and highly recommend it to all employees, staff and students,&#8221; said Aileen Warren, assistant vice chancellor for human resources at UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>Warren added that all UNMC deans and directors will be taking part in the workshop this month, and human resources is purchasing the video to have available on the intranet for future viewing.<\/p>\n<p>Employees can attend one of the following three forums to learn the Ouch! techniques. No registration is required to attend.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jan. 17 (2-3 p.m.) Eppley Science Hall, Room 3010\n<li>Jan. 18 (9-10 a.m.) College of Public Health, Room 3013\n<li>Jan. 23 (3-4 p.m.) Durham
