A sense of belonging in the workplace can increase job performance, reduce turnover, and drive resilient teams. But what does it mean to feel like we belong at work, and how can we help create that experience in our organizations?

Hire Immigrants Ottawa is pleased to be offering a new workshop series for employers that invites participants to explore what it means to achieve and contribute to a sense of belonging in the workplace.

Fostering a Workplace Culture of Inclusion and Belonging is a three-part workshop series that progressively builds participants’ knowledge and skills about inclusive practices that build a culture of belonging.

Module 2: Uncovering Biases to Foster Belonging

The second module delves more deeply into our workplace cultures to explore how bias can undermine our efforts to foster belonging in the workplace. This interactive session reviews the concept of affinity bias, its disruptive effects and explores best practices for challenging this and other common biases in the workplace.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify common biases in the workplace;

• Strengthen connections with people different from ourselves;

• Apply best practices for uncovering and interrupting biases
