You Belong Here: Creating an Inclusive Environment Where Everyone Belongs
Recorded On: 11/03/2021
- Registration Closed
Join this interactive session for guidance on how leaders can enhance the sense of belonging in a firm by creating an open and welcoming environment in which employees can be their authentic selves. You’ll explore the economic and racial injustice crises from a diversity, equity and inclusion lens since the onset of COVID-19. You’ll consider implicit bias and how the sooner we’re able to recognize our biases and become more self-aware, the better we’ll be as leaders. You’ll also learn about imposter syndrome and how to recognize and address employees who feel as though they do not belong.
Objectives:
- Develop equity, inclusion and diversity programming for employees.
- Create awareness of implicit bias and learn how to form healthy working relationships with employees who may not be similar to you.
- Identify solutions for increasing employee engagement by creating a space of inclusiveness.
- Appraise how to be a true ally to employees in underrepresented communities in the workplace.
