work environment.
Webinar One: Building a Culture of CARE: Harnessing Commitment and Accountability through the D&I Pledge and Assessment
Monday, October 16, 2023 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (ET)
In this interactive session, we delve into the crucial elements of fostering a Culture of CARE within organizations by exploring the power of commitment and accountability. We will focus on two essential tools: the Culture of CARE pledge and the D&I Assessment. By examining these resources, we aim to empower construction firms to create a diverse and inclusive workplace environment.
During the session, we will analyze the significance of commitment in driving meaningful change. We will explore the Culture of CARE pledge language and learn how it can be customized and implemented to align with your organization's specific values and goals. By embracing this pledge, participants will understand how to cultivate an environment where compassion, respect, and empathy flourish, enabling a diverse workforce to thrive.
Furthermore, we will emphasize the importance of accountability in the journey toward inclusivity. We will navigate through the D&I Assessment which provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating an organization's current state of diversity and inclusion. Participants will gain insights on how to conduct an honest and thorough assessment, identifying areas for improvement and charting a course towards actionable change.
Join us in this session and be part of the movement to build a Culture of CARE, where every individual feels valued, respected, and heard; and can contribute their best selves. Together, we can foster workplaces that champion diversity, nurture belonging, and foster sustainable growth.
