Part 1: Becoming an Inclusive Team Member

Through reflective and engaging activities, team members select and prioritize the aspects of who they are that they believe others need to know about them to gain inside knowledge about how to work them more sensitively and empathetically, or how to "get them" in an identity rich world. The three independent learning modules in Becoming an Inclusive Team Member are:

  • Recognizing Your Identity Dimensions
  • Identifying Identity Dimensions at Work
  • Becoming an Inclusive Team Member

Who We Are

Part 2: Becoming an Inclusive Team

Move from independent learning to web-based tools that will help your team have meaningful conversations and create a more inclusive and collaborative team environment. This step guides teams on how to work in partnership and share the responsibility to increase your teams:

  • Psychological Safety
  • Social Sensitivity
  • Clear and Unbiased Team Norms

Your team will then participate in facilitated conversations to share what's most important about who you are - so that together, your team will come to understand - this is WHO WE ARE.
