This phenomenon, while common, can have significant impacts. It can hinder people from being their authentic selves and feeling truly included. This course delves into the nuances of covering, its effects on individuals and teams, and how it can inadvertently be imposed in workplace environments. Participants will gain insights into identifying and addressing covering behaviors, fostering an atmosphere where everyone can be unapologetically themselves. Sharing this course with your team can be a step towards creating a more inclusive, understanding, and authentic work culture, where diversity is not just recognized but celebrated in its entirety.
