How to Create a Culture of Belonging At Work
With so many companies talking about making diversity a priority but falling short of the mark, diversity and inclusivity initiatives will be successful only if everyone experiences a feeling of belonging in the workplace. It’s not just a feel-good move; it’s good for business. Study after study has shown that diversity leads to more creative teams and more profitable companies. Shelley Zalis, CEO, The Female Quotient, shares solutions to creating a culture of belonging at work to help employees—and companies—thrive. You will learn:
- Why diversity isn’t just about gender or race, it’s also about diversity of background and mindset
- Strategies for helping each individual feel included and like she or he belongs—regardless of gender, race or sexuality
- Practices for getting comfortable with being uncomfortable in order for companies to progress towards more inclusive workplaces
- Why we need accountability in order for change to happen, and how to create it
