BT 2022 Jan Creating a Community of Respect

An organization's commitment to embrace diverse, equitable and inclusive business practices ranks among the top of issues this next generation of workers cares deeply about. Now, more than ever, employees are looking to their organization to be a leader in this space. But what does this mean for a business? Where should your organization, or even you as an individual, even start on this journey? Join us for this training, Creating a Community of Respect where you will learn about cultural differences and be encouraged to think critically about the impact of other cultural values in relation to yours. In addition, we will spend time focusing on self-awareness and the importance of exploring other cultural values, understanding and recognizing stereotypes and unintended bias, understanding microaggressions and their impact, and ways you can positively address bias when you see it.
