Welcoming Workplaces and Communities

About Course

Understanding the circumstances and dynamics that create true belonging and inclusion is crucial to developing NH workplaces and communities that excel and thrive.

This online learning experience offers an expanded focus from previous years, with an updated format and new resources. The 8-week program is designed to be more accessible – reducing the emails to two per week, including a summary email that allows participants to stay involved even when time is short. This year’s Innovation Challenge will focus on:

  • How to create cultures that support creativity and flourishing rather than ‘othering’, exclusion, and unhealthy power dynamics.
  • How patterns of exclusion or inclusion play out for various experiences such as race, gender, religious affiliation, ability, and cultural differences.
  • Stories and case studies of how organizations are taking action.
  • Leading beyond the organization by taking collective action with others in the community to have greater influence locally and at the state level.
  • The NH context, resources and leaders working on these issues, to understand how best to support, amplify, and/or complement this work.

We encourage you to engage a team from your company to take on the challenge together and support each other in creating a more inclusive and diverse workplace!
