How to foster belonging and inclusion, with Ellen Pao
Details
We know that fostering belonging and inclusion at work is not only good for people, it’s good for team outcomes (as one example: when people feel a strong sense of belonging, job performance can improve by up to 56%).
But doing so is easier said than done. How do managers and leaders build belonging and inclusion into how their teams work? And how can they advocate for it even in tough times like right now – where some point to the market contraction as a reason to focus on output rather than culture and people?
With a topic this big, we wanted to bring in a global expert – so we’re thrilled to share that Ellen Pao will be leading this session! Ellen has spent her career working on these issues, including co-founding Project Include, a non-profit that uses data and advocacy to accelerate diversity and inclusion solutions in the tech industry.
Ellen will speak to topics including:
-
The approach she takes to building more diverse and inclusive tech companies
-
In her work advising companies, what approaches she’s seen be most effective at inspiring change
-
Resources available at Project Include to support you on your journey
We’ll have plenty of time for Q&A with Ellen too – you’re welcome to send us your questions in advance or bring them on the day of the event.
