One day it's a covert statement to a mother returning to work after maternity leave. Another day it's a lingering gaze at an employee enjoying a culturally rich meal. These microaggressions (or sometimes macroaggressions) can take an employee from a confident, high-performer to one that feels insecure being themselves at work. Your employees engage with people with different ideas and feel most comfortable and valued when they can work without losing their cultural, racial, and gender identity. While most employers know this, why have workplace racism and sexism often been neglected?

The Effects of Workplace Racism and Sexism

Employers must address workplace racism and sexism to create safe and inclusive work environments. Educate and nurture your current employees, and aim to recruit and diversify your workforce to reduce racism and sexism in the workplace. Post a free job on Get to start building a more diverse team!

If you’re reading this article, then chances are you’re looking for a new job and want to whip your resume into shape. But lots of questions can arise as you begin to do that. After all, most of us aren’t career coaches or resume experts. Job hunters frequently ask one common question: how far back should a resume go? As in, should you list all of your work history – even if it stretches on for years – or should you be more selective?

How Far Back Should a Resume Go, Exactly?

Don't list every job you've ever had on your resume! Instead, be selective and include only relevant experience and skills. Keep it concise and tailored to the role you're applying for and employers will come knocking! Follow the rule of thumb: 10-15 years or 3-5 jobs.

Imagine you’re in an elevator with the CEO of your dream company and you get to talking. The conversation is going well and you start to imagine yourself working for their company when the CEO turns around and asks you “tell me a bit about yourself.” Would this catch you off guard or would you be able to give a clear and succinct description of who you are?&nbsp;&nbsp;

How to Describe Your Personality with Examples

Knowing how to describe your personality in a professional setting is key to getting a job. Brainstorm your top qualities and use real-life examples to showcase them. Research the company's culture to show how your personality fits in. Showcase your personality in a clear, confident, and authentic way during the interview.

4 Ways to Make Your Job Posting More Inclusive

Attract diverse job seekers by creating a job description tailored to them. Pay attention to the language used, as it can make or break a job search. Keep sentences short, simple and gender-neutral. Focus on must-have skills and provide examples of technical abilities. Follow these tips to maximize your job postings.

Understanding your finances can be daunting even if you’re good with numbers. Your net income, in particular, is a key metric for determining how well you’re doing financially and whether your current way of operating is sustainable or not.

How to Calculate Net Income

Net income is the amount of money a business or individual has left after deducting costs and expenses. For businesses, this is revenue minus COGS and expenses. For individuals, this is gross revenue minus deductions and taxes. Understanding net income is key for making financial decisions and achieving success.
