How to Build a Culture of Inclusion and Belonging in the 2021 Workplace

Original Air Date: 1/13/2021

Organizations have an opportunity right now to make significant progress on diversity, inclusion and belonging. But, we will miss the boat if we continue with narrow diversity initiatives that fall short on creating a true sense of inclusion and belonging. While important, diversity is a passive view of workforce composition; inclusion is a more active view that focuses on creating an empathetic workplace environment. When employees feel welcome, included, valued and connected, they feel a sense of belonging.

To make real progress, we need to start at the core: our people development strategies must equip people to confront and wrestle with shame, resistance, lack of awareness, trauma, and systemic and structural barriers to change; operational strategies must incorporate inclusion in the mission, vision and values, product development and customer-facing behavior.

Join us for a webinar with BetterUp as we explore the deeper, more meaningful people development strategies that spark individual change, and create a sustained culture of inclusion embedded into the organization’s core.

During this webinar, you will learn:

•  The challenge and opportunity to ensure all your employees can bring their full, best selves to work
• The evidence showing how coaching can accelerate progress toward diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging
• A three-pronged approach to fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging
