How to Ask People to Dance: Creating Better Spaces To be More Inclusive at Work
Details
This month WellyBAM aims to shine a spotlight on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).
The term "diversity and inclusion" has been used quite a bit recently, but do you know what inclusion means? Is it just about including people from different gender, race, sexual orientation, and age?
"Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance." - Verna Myers
In this interactive online workshop, hosted by Mun-Wai Chung and JF Unson, from the Business Agility Meetup in San Francisco Bay Area, we'll dive deep into what inclusion really means, especially in a work environment, whether it be fully remote, hybrid, or completely in person.
It is far more than just ticking a few boxes. We'll explore some common considerations that people fail to realise, even after working from home during this pandemic. We'll also learn what we can do to make people feel welcomed, accepted, respected, and valued. In the end, we learn how to empower people to contribute their own perspective and understanding without the fear of rejection and humiliation.
We also aim to give you a different kind of "meeting" experience by using Kumospace, Liberating Structures and no Zoom!
Details on how to join the online session will be emailed to participants prior to the session.
