Summary

Key points for reflection:

  • Behaviour that embarrasses people isn't fun.
  • Lack of sensitivity is lack of respect.
  • Don't assume your behaviour is okay because no one has objected.
  • Would you say or do this with your spouse or loved one standing by?
  • If someone indicates your behaviour is unwanted or objectionable, stop immediately and don't do it again.
  • Jokes about another person's family, appearance, nationality or religion are rarely appropriate.
  • If you are in any doubt about the appropriateness of a conversation topic, it is best to leave it out of the workplace (or learning environment).

 

If it is not appropriate for a professional (or learning) environment,don't say it, don't do it.
