Creating Inclusive Environments in Businesses and Organizations
September 10, 2020 | 12 – 1 p.m.
Understanding comes from knowing, which is why AuthoraCare Collective has partnered with the Alamance Chamber, the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, Fox Rothschild LLP and Cone Health to explore the impact of health disparities and the opportunities for intentional inclusion in our businesses and communities.
Join us on September 10 to hear panelists Kim Gatling, Kiva Elliott, and April Herring discuss how businesses and health care organizations are proactively working to create more diverse and inclusive environments.
This webinar is the second in a 3-part series focusing on understanding and increasing our knowledge of diversity, implicit bias and intentional inclusion. We will discuss how businesses and organizations are focusing on intentional inclusion and diversity and leveraging this as a differentiator. The concept of implicit bias will be explored and panelists will share how and why their organizations have made intentional inclusion a priority. The role of community outreach and health equity will also be a part of our conversation.
• Increase knowledge of intentional inclusion and the scope of diversity in organizations and communities.
• Learn what implicit bias is and how to recognize it.
• Learn why it is important for business and communities to build more diverse and inclusive environments.
• Increase understanding of the strategies businesses and organizations have implemented to create and leverage a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
