Offering Workshops for Your Organization Today!
Recently, team members Brandon and Alexis visited with the City of Little Rock to facilitate our Cultivating an Inclusive Culture Workshop.
Cultivating an Inclusive Culture:
“True inclusion in the workplace requires strategic thinking from all levels of the company. Simply saying ‘we’re an inclusive company’ won’t improve the perception of employees and stakeholders who aren’t experiencing full inclusion in your institution. This workshop covers tangible strategies to move you closer to full inclusion, such as techniques for job interviews, providing multiple methods of input from stakeholders, and utilizing an equity lens.”
Find out more about the workshops we offer to help your organization become an inclusive space for all by clicking above.
