SUMMARY:Communication for Impact: How to Communicate WGE Efforts Effectively
DESCRIPTION:Background\nStrategic communication of workplace gender equality initiatives connects and brings together vision\, goals\, objectives\, and tactics\, reminding us ‘why’ we are here and motivating us to contribute to the goals identified.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Leadership Series 1 - Leading Self Series\, Session 1: Embracing A Respectful Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Why do you need Inclusive Leadership?\nResearch from social psychology tells us that leaders\, like all human beings\, naturally tend to gravitate toward like-minded individuals. \nMaking diversity and inclusion a priority begins at the top of any organisation. Inclusive leadership is critical for organisations that want to adopt an inclusive culture to create a great workplace for all levels of employees. Being an inclusive leader takes more than surrounding yourself with employees with different perspectives and backgrounds. \nEmployees want an open\, unique\, team-oriented\, transparent\, and inviting workplace for everyone. They want to ask and ensure they feel a sense of belonging and value. \n  \nWhat Can You Expect from These Series\nThe Inclusive Leadership Series includes six episodes in a bi-monthly period. The peer-to-peer session touches on the topics each workplace leader and managers should know about leading a diverse team and building an inclusive culture. The lessons we learned in this session will assist leaders in igniting and fueling an environment where diversity is welcomed and fueled to achieve better results. \n  \nInclusive Leadership_Series \nSeries 1 – Leading Self \nSession 1 – Embracing a Respectful Workplace (29 November 2022) \nSession 2 – Excelling D&I Intelligence (January 2023) \nSession 3  – Am I Biased?
