SUMMARY:Forum Webinar\, Advancing Health Equity for Black Women Through Sponsorship

Understanding the impact that social determinants of health like racism and discrimination have on healthcare outcomes for Black women\, it is bad business for them to be underrepresented at the decision and policy-making levels in healthcare. How do we solve this pervasive problem? \nJoin us as we share how the University of Chicago Medical Center (UCM) is leveraging a formal sponsorship program focused on increasing the representation of Black women at the senior leadership level. Also\, participants will learn how UCM is using a formal sponsorship program – including critical conversations at the executive leadership level about the lived experience of Black women – to accelerate workplace culture transformation and advance healthcare equity. We will also explore how this may be applied in other organizations. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nLearn how advancing more Black women to leadership roles in healthcare impacts health equity\nRecognize sponsorship as an accelerator for career advancement and workplace culture transformation\nGain strategies for creating formal sponsorship programs for Black Women in your organization

SUMMARY:Forum Webinar\, DEI & Decision Making: The Undeniable and Unbreakable Connection
DESCRIPTION:When: January 20\, 2022 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CST\nLevel: Introductory\nTrack: D&I Strategy\nPresenters: Nigel Vanderlinden\, Powernoodle  |  Dave Debacker\, Powernoodle \n\nAs is the case with much of the DEI evidence and expertise that exists\, many organizations continue to operate without the benefit of the evidence and expertise in the realm of quality decision making. As a result\, organizations and their stakeholders continue to fall short of their potential. The two realms could hardly be more closely connected as DEI supports and enables quality decisions while quality decision making enables and supports DEI. \nThis webinar will provide unique insights into the world of decision making today and highlight how DEI professionals – executives\, leaders\, practitioners\, and consultants – are uniquely positioned to move organizations forward in both realms simultaneously; elevating their own brand and value proposition in the process. The session will also provide practical\, evidence-based solutions that you can bring to action immediately. \nLearning Outcomes\n\nLearn – the relationship between decision making and DEI; the state of decision making in organizations\nGrow – Move forward in decision quality and DEI; elevating your own skills and your impact\nDo – Practical solutions for creating diverse and inclusive decision-making in your own organization

SUMMARY:Using Innovative Simulation Strategies to Dismantle Systemic Racism
DESCRIPTION:When: August 19\, 2021 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CST\nPresenters: Samreen Vora\, Children’s Minnesota  |  Brittany Dahlen\, Children’s Minnesota\nCost: Free \nMany organizations are flocking to implement implicit bias training and other activities to bring to light the structural racism present in our organizations. Although implicit bias training is the first step in creating awareness\, it is important to get to the next step of behavior change. Implementation of bias mitigation strategies can be challenging to achieve. Simulation-Based Training (SBT) can be the bridge between creating awareness and moving to action. \nThis session will delve into SBT and opportunities for partnering with equity and inclusion training to promote health equity. The webinar will discuss how deliberate practice of both recognition of bias and implementation of strategies to mitigate bias can be integrated into implicit bias training. Real examples of the partnership between SBT and equity and inclusion training will be provided and participants will have an opportunity to begin developing facilitation skills for leading SBT deliberate practice conversations \nLearning Outcomes\n\nDescribe the simulation strategies applicable to promoting health equity\nIntegrate implicit bias mitigation strategies into simulations\nApply equity and inclusion facilitation skills to simulation facilitation

SUMMARY:Forum Webinar\, Mastering Cultural Differences: Strategies for Leading a Global Workforce

In the past\, most U.S. businesses functioned primarily within our borders. Today\, globalization is proving to be a huge game changer for many companies\, big and small. With globalization and increased immigration\, the potential for misunderstandings in the workplace is really high. First\, language differences may lead to miscommunication and misinterpretation. Second you fail to take into account significant cultural differences. For example\, during a performance review\, you provide constructive criticism to an employee with the intent of helping him improve his performance. Later on you learn that he quit his job because of the shame and loss of face your feedback caused. In this interactive Webinar\, you will understand the impact of cultural differences in the workplace and learn strategies to bridge those differences effectively. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nLearn the importance of paying attention to cultural differences in the workplace\nRecognize differences in communication styles\nApply strategies to communicate effectively with a global workforce

SUMMARY:Forum Presentaion\, When Our Identities Conflict – Learning to See and Hear Each Other Across Difference
DESCRIPTION:When: May 20\, 2021 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm CST \nWhere: Online/Video Conference \nCost: $30 Suggested Donation \nRegister here: https://forumworkplaceinclusion.org/dibs/when-our-identities-conflict-learning-to-see-and-hear-each-other-across-difference/ \nPresenters: Bill Proudman\, White Men as Full Diversity Partners/FDP Global  |  Hayward Bell\, Raytheon Company RETIRED  |  Kimberly B. Davis\, National Hockey League  |  Lee Tschanz\, Rockwell Automation  |  Amy Wilczynski\, Anderson & Rust – Borough of Allendale\, NJ \nWhat do we believe about ourselves as a people and country — the UNITED States of America? What values do we pass on to our children and their children’s children? What resonates for us\, and why? \nJoin us for a moderated panel discussion that explores understanding our beliefs and values\, what underwrites our political identities\, and how to influence ourselves and our interactions in partnership and leadership across many difference points of view. \nAfter the January 6 insurrection at the US Capital\, an ideological and heartfelt battle took place in our mediascapes: Some cried\, “This is not who we are!” while others replied\, “Yes\, it is. And it has been.” \nHow we define and understand ourselves and our country is deeply personal. For some of us\, the contest over who we are sends us spiraling into our own perceived failings and blame. For others\, it perpetuates generations-long feelings of oppression and silencing\, an annihilation of self and community. \nOur beliefs are often incomplete and based on how our parents and their parents viewed the world – what they valued\, believed\, and passed on to us as our cultural legacy. And\, what we believe and how others share their beliefs touches the most profound parts of ourselves\, influencing not only our political identities\, but also how we enter into partnership\, particularly across difference; how we lead; and how we feel we belong at work\, at home\, and in life. \nTo build inclusive and equitable workplaces\, we have to be willing to deeply know ourselves and how our beliefs and values shape how we see and judge others. This self awareness is an underpinning of full partnership. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nLearn how to deeply listen to hear and recognize the humanity in ourselves and each other\nEmbrace paradoxes of sameness and difference\, individual and group\nExplore how our mindsets are shaped by our beliefs and values (what underpins our political identities)

SUMMARY:Forum Event - Religion in the Workplace: Interfaith Skills to Engage Difference
DESCRIPTION:When: May 6\, 2021 11:00 am – 12:30 pm CST\nWhere: Online/Video Conference\nCost: $30 Suggested Donation\nLevel: Intermediate\nTrack: Critical Employment Practices \nPresenters: Megan Hughes Johnson\, Interfaith Youth Core  |  Jenan Mohajir\, Interfaith Youth Core \nReligious diversity is an incredibly important part of American public life. Controversies regarding religion and business are regularly in both the press and the courts and more Americans say that they encounter religious diversity at work than in any other sphere of their life (PRRI\, 2019). However\, religion is often left out of the corporate diversity conversation. Diverse identities and perspectives on a team can lead to greater outcomes or can lead to misunderstanding and conflict. It is only when diverse identities are engaged\, and team members have opportunities to intentionally learn about one another\, that the potential strength of workplace diversity is unlocked. Developing a company culture that proactively engages religious diversity can open doors to greater employee productivity\, enhanced client satisfaction\, and even new business prospects. Join IFYC to explore why engaging religion matters in the workplace\, workshop challenging scenarios\, and identify your interfaith skillset. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nLearn why engaging religious diversity matters in the workplace\nUnderstand and apply interfaith frameworks to common tensions in the workplace related to religious identity and diversity\nIdentify concrete skills to engage religious diversity and enhance workplace culture

SUMMARY:Forum Webinar: From Bystander to Ally
DESCRIPTION:When: April 15\, 2021 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CT\nLevel: Intermediate\nTrack: Social Responsibility\nPresenters: Dr. Daniel Cantor Yalowitz\, DCY Consulting  |  Tatyana Fertelmeyster\, Connecting Differences\, LLC \nCost: Free \nWhen anyone is confronted by any form of aggression\, whether verbal\, physical\, social\, or economic\, it is natural to feel fear\, doubt\, and paralysis. This is important in assessing critical next steps if we happen to be a bystander. We must also look at our own fears and triggers as they\, too\, play a role in how we may react or respond to any potential conflict or confrontation. \nDuring this webinar participants will consider some very important questions as they devise their own ways of responding to triggering situations. How does privilege impact decisions to engage in conflict and whether/how to respond? When is allyship an act of support\, and when is it not? Who gets to decide? How do we deal with our own emotional responses to aggression and confrontation? How can one become an effective ally in a virtual work world and how does this differ from an in-person workplace? \nLearning Outcomes \n\nKnow how to decide when to intervene as an active bystander\nIdentify and manage their personal emotional triggers\nUtilize practical tools to engage in building allyship for safety in their workplace

SUMMARY:Inclusive Remote Work: Getting It Right!
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, more than half of companies allow some form of remote work and\, in the U.S.\, it is already a commonplace reality. Remote work can positively impact how we all do work\, providing benefits to the employee\, the organization and society. Having access to great technology tools and solutions is a vital part of enabling this way of working now and into the future. Yet\, equally as important is the experience of being a remote worker and addressing the challenges associated with creating a strong sense of belonging and inclusion in the virtual workplace.\n\nThis webinar will share insights from a recent global research study on inclusive remote work and will offer practical tips for what works. Additionally\, a case study from Citrix outlining how they have created an inclusive environment for distributed teams to heighten engagement\, inclusion\, belonging\, retention and productivity will be shared during the webinar.\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nUnderstand the framework of remote work and the employee’s experience with this way of working\nLearn about the opportunities and challenges with remote work from multiple perspectives\nReceive pragmatic inspiration on what to do going forward
