About this event
Culture is the backbone of any organization and great organizations nurture a culture of inclusion and belonging for all.
In this conversation you will learn about how organizational culture impacts the wellbeing of employees and how our lived experiences (specially as people of color) matter.
How can organizations create mechanisms for those lived experiences to be shared to create a better understanding of how to navigate diverse perspectives and experiences?
