Note: Speakers will be joining us virtually through Zoom. Virtual option is also available for attendees.

You’ve heard the words and terms, but what are the distinct differences, and how do they intersect? In this workshop, we will define diversity and related terminology such as inclusion, equity, and belonging. We will discuss how having a diverse team leads to increased effectiveness and performance and the factors or conditions that lead to an increase in effectiveness and performance on diverse teams.

In this session, participants will:

• Establish foundational awareness and a common base language with which you can build and grow as a team

• Recognize the importance of welcoming and valuing differences in the workplace

• Begin the process of identifying the difference between various types of biases in order to treat people with dignity and respect

• Recognize commonalities within your team and among others who are different

• Help each other grow and realize our full potential by creating awareness and action and grow a culture of belonging

• By fostering an environment of respect, collaboration, positivity and belonging, you will enable your organization to succeed and your team to flourish.
