Conclusion
In this lesson, we have learned about both the impact and how to reduce stereotype threat in our own workplaces. We discovered that stereotype threat can manifest itself in various ways, and can have long lasting impacts on the employees who experience it. We have also learned that there are steps that we can take as individual employees, and as institutions, to begin counteracting this. As we move forward, we must constantly recommit to creating a workplace that is as a safe space for growth and development for everyone.
