One of the many ways workplaces can be more inclusive and create a sense of belonging is by recognizing the impact of world events on people’s lives and work. This is especially important in diverse teams (which all of our teams are) because something that is deeply impactful for one person may barely register with another. At the same time, it can be challenging to keep up with the seemingly constant stream of news, disasters, and troubling events that happen on a daily basis. This session will discuss the pro-active measures people and teams can take to be supportive and identify strategies and resources to mobilize if and when people on our team are impacted.
