      Answer Example

      "Sensitivity in the workplace is incredibly important. I demonstrate sensitivity to others by respecting the needs, emotions, and beliefs of everyone on my team. I can adapt to the concerns and needs of various groups, no matter how different they are from me. I work very hard to cultivate healthy and trusting relationships with members of my team and while also being a consistent example to my co-workers when it comes to team member relationships."

      "One of the most insensitive things you can do is to laugh or trivialize the opinions and ideas they share. This causes them to close up and not speak up. I vow to always respect what they're saying and to provide civil feedback if I disagree.

      Edgy jokes and humor can be fun to you, but even if one person could be offended by it then you should not make the joke. What's funny to you can be harmful to someone who has had traumatic experiences with that thing.



      Not taking into account someones ideas can be very insensitive. I always try to discuss the pros and cons of each others side and then make a compromise to show that I value their point of view."
