2021 Building Inclusive Teams

Groups and teams in the workplace are most engaged, productive, and effective in psychologically safe, inclusive environments. Building inclusive teams is a critical skill for leaders and individual contributors alike. Inclusivity takes place when all team members and organizational leaders take consistent action to both acknowledge and include differences in the workplace.

During this session, participants will discuss strategies for building inclusive teams from professional research and personal life experiences. Content will include psychological safety and the encounter group model. Actionable, behavioral-based tactics to implement these characteristics will be given to all participants.
