Building corporate inclusiveness is extremely important to retain a diverse workforce. The following workshops have been helpful for corporations that want to maintain and grow their diversity. • The “BIG Idea” Workshop: This 3-hour interactive workshop aims to provide awareness, knowledge and skills to participants about personal and institutional dynamics of social inequality. Providing hands-on strategies, the goal of the workshop is to better equip corporate members to engage diverse social identities, to explore how oppression and privilege operate in our daily lives, and to create a more inclusive organizational culture. This workshop can be incorporated into any other workshop as a framework from which to discuss other leadership and/or diversity concerns and growth. • Building an Inclusive Environment: Once corporate members are equipped with a framework for understanding social inequalities, this workshop expands on the “BIG” Idea workshop by providing specific strategies for creating an organizational environment in which everyone feels like they belong. Creating inclusiveness is critical for any organization and correlates with recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce. • Leadership & Communication Workshop: This workshop includes interactive exercises and strategies for creating and maintaining better interpersonal communication throughout your corporation. Focusing on listening skills and communication skills, participants can then become better leaders in your organization by practicing these strategies. They can become more effective members of the community and serve as role models for others. • Managing Emotions: This interactive workshop provides a means for understanding the ways emotions can sometimes keep us from moving forward in our goals, including the inability to effectively communicate with others. Strategies will be provided for managing emotions in successful ways. This intensive, interactive workshop delves into dealing with emotions and most importantly, understanding the dynamics of resistance to move forward. • Becoming an Agent of Change: Many corporate members would like to move forward in reaching their organizational and personal goals, but do not realize that their daily behavior can have a remarkable effect on their ability to do so. It is critical for corporate organization members to recognize their own efficacy in creating a positive, productive, inclusive atmosphere. This workshop provides strategies and techniques for creating a more inclusive environment where members feel engaged in and excited about their work. |
