About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

In today’s diverse work environments, achieving true equity goes beyond surface-level efforts. In this engaging and interactive workshop, led by Harmony Movement facilitators, we’ll explore common missteps organizations make in promoting workplace equity and provide actionable insights on what not to do. As a demonstration of our approach, Harmony Movement facilitators will guide you through thought-provoking discussions, exercises, and real-life scenarios to show how to avoid tokenism, superficial diversity training, and complacency. Learn how to confront challenges directly, embrace discomfort, and have courageous conversations that foster meaningful change.

Key Topics to Be Covered

  • Avoiding One-Off Training: Why equity isn’t achieved through isolated initiatives, and how to foster continuous learning.
  • Embracing the Discomfort: Understanding that real change requires stepping out of comfort zones, facing difficult truths and having courageous conversations.
  • Creating Accountability: The importance of measurable actions, not just good intentions, in achieving true equity.

Why Does It Matter for Your Organization?

  • Diverse teams improve innovation by bringing diverse perspectives, leading to more creative solutions and better problem-solving.
  • A workplace that prioritizes equity fosters trust, engagement, and higher employee retention rates.
  • Companies committed to true equity attract top talent and enjoy stronger brand loyalty.
  • Studies show that businesses with diverse teams outperform their competitors in profitability and productivity.

Understanding the business case for diversity is key to creating a workplace culture that benefits both employees and the bottom line.

Join us for this impactful session to learn how your organization can avoid common pitfalls and move towards a truly inclusive and equitable workplace.
