This year’s diversity and inclusion training series, Inclusion Matters: Building a Sense of Community, starts up this month. It builds on the awareness that last year’s series raised of the impact of social stereotypes and biases in the workforce. The training requirement has been placed on each employee’s ITNA, and the first presentation, by the Chicago Sinfonietta, takes place on Thursday, Feb. 20, in Ramsey Auditorium.
It’s summer, and nothing says summer like a movie in the park. Or, in our case, outside a barn. Join us for a screening of “Black Panther” outside Kuhn Barn on Friday, July 19. Enjoy good food, good company and award-winning entertainment!
Have you completed your Inclusion Matters training? If not, you have still two opportunities to do so. The final two courses take place on Tuesday, July 16, and Wednesday, July 17. Register now for one of them, and help us reach our goal of 100% participation by the end of the fiscal year.
Biases, conscious or unconscious, are learned social stereotypes that have real effects in the workplace. In an effort to provide Fermilab employees and users with practical tools and resources that interrupt bias and promote workplace inclusion, we are holding a new unconscious-bias training series throughout 2019.
Creating safe and inclusive workplaces for all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, improves the well-being and satisfaction of employees.
