Inclusion and Belonging @ Work
Why This Conversation Matters
Now, more than ever, organizational leaders and individual team members recognize that feeling included and connected at work is a top requirement for attracting and retaining top talent. Data shows that true inclusion has the power to enhance team performance, employee engagement, retention, customer experience, and more! In this interactive Team Talk we set the stage for meaningful dialogue about the powerful impact of feeling truly included at work. This conversation creates a compelling case for promoting a more inclusive team culture and practical tips for cultivating a sense of belonging for all team members.
Goals of this Team Talk:
Define the terms “diversity,” “inclusion,” and “belonging”
Appreciate the impact of inclusion & belonging on individual, team, and company performance
Promote a more inclusive team culture and cultivate a sense of belonging for all team members
EACH TEAM TALK YOU PURCHASE WILL INCLUDE A WARM-UP EXERCISE, A CONVERSATION GUIDE, AND A CONVERSATION TOOLKIT
The Warm-Up
This is a self-awareness exercise – Team Leaders will send out this document to their team before the Team Talk to get individuals thinking about the topic and “warm up” to the concept of sharing during the session.
The Conversation Guide
This tool is for the Team Leader and it provides a suggested flow for leading the conversation and getting the team talking. The guides are easy to follow, yet open enough to allow each team to shape their experience together. Every conversation ends with an invitation to practice and build upon the learning together.
The Conversation Toolkit
These are the visuals and handouts that make the session more engaging.
