SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: LGBTQIA+
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nDiversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: LGBTQIA+ \nJune is Pride Month\, a month dedicated to uplifting LGBTQIA+ voices\, celebrating LGBTQIA+ culture and supporting LGBTQIA+ rights. It commemorates the years of struggle for civil rights and the ongoing pursuit of justice\, equity and equality for the LGBTQIA+ community.  \nLGBTQIA+ is an inclusive acronym that describes either a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity such as lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, questioning/queer\, intersex\, asexual/aromantic/agender\, pansexual\, and allies. \nGender identity describes a person’s internal sense of being female\, male\, or someone outside of that gender binary\, while sexual orientation refers to ‘a person’s sexual and emotional attraction to another person and the behavior and/or social affiliation that may result from this attraction.’ \nPeople from the LGBTQIA+ community face discrimination and hate regularly in their personal lives\, workplaces and in public spaces. Furthermore\, the intersectionality of traits such as race\, ethnicity\, religion can influence their experience and lead to discrimination on multiple fronts. In the workplace\, they’re subjected to microaggressions like being asked inappropriate questions and hearing homophobic jokes and comments. Conscious and unconscious bias can prevent them from being hired or getting a promotion or opportunity at work. Many LGBTQIA+ individuals feel the need to hide their identity in the workplace for fear of discrimination\, which causes high levels of stress\, anxiety and other mental health issues among them.  \nDuring this session of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace\, we will discuss how workplaces and organisations can create a genuinely inclusive culture for LGBTQIA+ employees. On an individual level\, using pronouns in email signatures\, on social media profiles\, and stating them in meetings\, being mindful of using gender neutral language and calling out discriminatory behaviours are some of the ways to be active allies. \nFor companies\, using gender neutral language\, diverse visuals on the website and options beyond male and female on the job application can help attract a more diverse workforce\, while including anti-discrimination and harassment policies that address sexual orientation\, gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds of discrimination can help retain this workforce. \nIn this session\, we will discuss  \n\nHow can we ensure that workplaces have strong inclusive policies and practices in place? \nHow can they attract\, successfully recruit and retain LGBTQIA+ talent? \nHow can companies create a safe environment for employees of all sexualities and gender expressions to reveal as much or as little as they want? \nHow can we\, as individuals\, be active allies to the LGBTQIA+ community? \n\nJoin us to explore these questions and many more.\n\nThis event is FREE to attend. Please register below to receive the zoom link. \n\nAbout the speakers:\n  \nChi Lee (they/them/theirs) \nChi is a practicing artist with over two decades of design/build experience\, working with global retail companies such as Tiffany & Co.\, Ralph Lauren\, Reed Krakoff\, Tommy Hilfiger\, and others.

SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Neurodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nDiversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Neurodiversity\n  \n\nNeurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one “right” way of thinking\, learning\, and behaving\, and differences are not viewed as deficits. (Harvard Health) \nThe word neurodiversity refers to differences within ALL people. However\, it is often used to refer to those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)\, as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities\, where differences in behaviour and learning can be more apparent. \nDuring this session of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace we will explore how workplaces\, recruiters and we as individuals in our everyday interactions can become more aware of neurodiversity.  By making conscious “accommodations”\, neurodivergant people can be better included. With this awareness of neurodivergant ways of learning and behaving\, neurodiversity can be accepted and celebrated\, rather than excluded. \nThese accommodations can be things such as: \n\n\nthe way we communicate (avoiding sarcasm\, euphemisms\, and implied messages)\npaying attention to what words you use (person first language)\nthe set up of a workplace to be considerate of sound sensitivity and movement (allowing regular breaks or the use of fidget toys\, for example)\n\n\nJoin us to hear from our panelists about their lived experience and to learn what can be done to create a more inclusive workplace and society. \n\n\n  \nThis event is FREE to attend. Please register HERE to receive the zoom link. \n  \n\nPanelists\nRune-André Tveit (he/him)\n \nRune-André is an entrepreneurial minded person with a passion for sharing his knowledge and experience. Rune has started Excalibur Startup Academy which aims to democratize knowledge on entrepreneurship by offering webcourses\, coaching and workshops. Their webcourse Grunderformelen\, which is a fully self paced online course\, consists of twelve modules on a variety of topics which will give aspiring entrepreneurs the tools they need to execute their ideas. In the course you will learn from entrepreneurs\, investors\, consultants and people that teach business. \nAt the age of seven\, Rune was diagnosed as dyslectic. This became a negative label for him all throughout school\, and because of it he had to work twice as hard! But at the age 30 he realized he had been wrongly diagnosed as a kid\, as he realized he had ADHD. That’s when things fell in to place and things got easier. In this session he’ll share his perspectives on the importance of Neurodiversity. \n  \nNesceda Blake (she/her)\nNesceda Blake is an autistic woman and performing arts producer from Melbourne\, Australia. She endeavours to create positive change in the world around her by sharing her neurodivergent experiences. \nHer posts and article on LinkedIn have received over 900\,000 views\, with thousands of individuals learning how to make the working world a better place for neurodivergent people. Nesceda has also begun speaking with employers\, entrepreneurs and recruiters to spread the word about neuro-inclusivity\, and challenges businesses to rethink how diversity and inclusion practices can achieve actual equity. \nNesceda currently works as a Senior Officer\, Student Theatre and Engagement at La Trobe University\, where she gets to share her passion for the arts with emerging student creatives. \n  \nChisom Udeze (she/her)\nChisom is an Economist\, Organizational Design and DEI Strategist\, and a 3 times founder with over 12 years of experience working with organizations like the European Commission\, The United Nations and ExxonMobil. Chisom has an analytical mind and works to interrogate the cross-sectoral relationship between society’s resources\, production\, distribution and output.

SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Creating a Human-centric Hybrid Work Environment
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nDiversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Creating a Human-centric Hybrid Work Environment\nTechnology has been a saviour during the last two years\, allowing us to continue to work\, learn and stay connected. \nHowever\, the online platforms\, like zoom and teams\, were not designed to replicate the working environment in every regard. They lack a space for casual human interactions\, kitchen talk and the opportunity to feel the energy in the room. Subtle body language is also often lost\, impacting how we receive and interpret information. \nFurthermore\, like humans\, these platforms were not prepared for our sudden and oftentimes complete transition to remote working in early 2020. With the instant increase in use\, has there been the opportunity to humanize the way in which these systems operate? And have we made a conscious effort to change the way we use and communicate to one another on these platforms? \nIn many cases\, hybrid working is here to stay\, and there are many benefits. Accessibility\, efficiency\, and increased opportunities to collaborate across geographic distances\, to name a few. So how can we centre people in hybrid working environments to ensure that diversity and inclusion continue to be upheld and developed? \nDuring this edition of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace we will look at the experiences of those coming from across organisational structures and varying stages of business development. We will discuss strategies to ingrain best practices for the future of hybrid work to ensure to incorporate Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging values.
