Program Description:

While the buzzwords you hear may not explicitly say it, dignity and a sense of belonging is at the core of an engaged and thriving workforce. How do you design a culture where employees can show up as themselves? Come to this workshop to connect in a meaningful way about what is truly at the heart of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Program Objectives:

• Define belonging and compare to ‘fitting in’
• Review the impacts to workplaces with high levels of belonging
• Identify the relationship between belonging and psychological safety – and why it matters
• Examine your individual and workplace capacity and commitment related to belonging
• Identify practices and resources to use to develop high levels of belonging at work
• Build a network of peers committed to designing more relational and inclusive workplaces

Come to this program if you:

• Are not really sure of your role in the design of an inclusive workplace
• Don’t understand how a culture of belonging is related to employee retention
• Want to better understand how to recognize the inherent dignity of employees and patients
• Have had experiences with feeling like an outsider within your organization
