A safe and inclusive workplace is essential for high-performing teams, as research has shown. Leaders play a critical role in fostering psychological safety, which can influence up to 70% of employees’ feelings of belongingness and security. Google’s 2017 study on high-performing teams highlighted the importance of psychological safety in team success.
Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace brings numerous benefits, allowing for the exploration of new opportunities. To build a more inclusive and high-performing culture, leaders should take practical steps such as examining the science behind psychological safety in the workplace and providing practical advice on measuring their impact. Additionally, leaders should explore the business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and track progress using metrics such as employee satisfaction rates and turnover rates.
The event will take place on Wednesday, May 15 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Communities Foundation of Texas in Dallas, TX. The agenda includes a networking breakfast from 9 to 9:30 a.m., followed by a panel discussion featuring Dr. Janet Ahn, Chief Behavioral Science Officer at MindGym, and Nate Bennett, Senior Vice President Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Comerica Bank. Tickets are priced at $60 and are available for purchase online.
This event aims to provide attendees with valuable insights into how leaders can create an inclusive work environment that fosters high performance while also promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
