PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT The Path to an Inclusive Workplace

Research shows that employees who feel included are 51% more likely to recommend your company as a great place to work, 43% more committed to your company, 28% more engaged at work, and have 19% greater well-being in their lives. Inclusion is defined as feeling welcomed, respected, and valued. While hiring goals may boost diversity, they will not create an inclusive culture and may actually cause more turnover. In this workshop, we will address the components of an inclusive organization. This will be an interactive session in which we will examine best practices and reasons why inclusion efforts can fail. Throughout the workshop, experiential exercises, discussion, and information sharing will be used to move you down the path to an inclusive workplace. You will leave the workshop with techniques to apply within your organization. $179 Call to schedule.
