Do you feel comfortable expressing all aspects of your identity in the workplace? The County Diversity and Inclusion Executive Council is hosting the first of two listening sessions on Layers of Identity Thursday, Jan. 19 at noon and wants to hear from you and other County employees. The sessions will address the importance of equity and belonging in the workplace.
This is an opportunity to come together and speak openly and listen to one another. There will also be opportunities to engage anonymously during and after the session.
“As we start a new year, when we often set goals for ourselves, it feels like an especially appropriate time to commit to strengthening the sense of belonging,” said CAO Helen Robbins-Meyer in a recent email sent to all County employees. Read her full email.
Facilitators will include representatives from the Diversity and Inclusion Executive Council, Human Resources, Office of Ethics and Compliance and employee resource groups.
Employees are invited to submit questions and topics that they hope will be discussed in this listening session. All submissions will be anonymous.
Help spread the word by sharing event information with your County colleagues and join the Jan. 19 Listening Session online or by phone.
Or call in (audio only)
Phone Conference ID: 314 290 210#
The session will be recorded and posted to InSite after the event.
