Session 1


Before we can start stepping up to make our workplace inclusive for all demographics, we need to step inside. Understanding how we think and perceive the world is an important first step in appreciating diversity and creating inclusive workplaces. Through interactive activities and conversations, participants will explore how inner biases in the workplace can affect the hiring process, from recruiting to interviewing to on-boarding. We’ll work together in this workshop to identify biases in job descriptions and interview questions and processes.

Participants will learn:
  • Understand how biases are formed
  • Discover how biases affect decisions at multiple points in the talent management cycle
  • Practice reframing biases to create a more inclusive workplace

Session 2


In this session, you’ll get tangible takeaways and resources you can adapt and implement in your workplace. Heidi will share insights and experience on:
  • Inclusivity is part of wellness.
  • What diversity and inclusion mean at Summit Credit Union.
  • The impacts of an inclusive workplace.
  • Planning and gaining buy in to build an inclusive workplace with a focus of employee wellness.
  • Practical elements of building inclusive spaces – partnerships, empowerment, and workplace design.
  • Engaging your staff in building an inclusive workplace, including incentives and benefits.
