Event Details
We know that people do their best work when we create a workplace where they feel appreciated for their unique perspectives and experience a sense of belonging. So, what can we do to create a workplace where people thrive?
Each individual plays a role in creating and sustaining an inclusive and welcoming workplace. This day of reflection and learning will equip individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to actively contribute to a positive workplace culture.
Participants will:
- Discuss the impact of implicit biases on decision-making within organizational settings and develop strategies to identify and mitigate the influence of negative implicit biases.
- Describe different ways that we can serve as allies to others and explore the integral connection between our privileges and allyship.
- Explore culture’s visible and invisible components and how our own cultural lenses impact how we navigate the world.
- Create commitments for fostering a more equitable and inclusive workplace culture.
