Creating an inclusive workplace starts with understanding that everyone has unique needs that deserve acknowledgment and support. This course introduces the concept of micro-accommodations—small, intentional adjustments in the workplace that can make a big difference in fostering an environment where all team members feel valued, respected, and able to thrive.
Participants will explore how to recognize and respond to diverse needs through a trauma-informed lens, emphasizing psychological safety and cultural sensitivity. By normalizing the act of seeking and providing accommodations, workplaces can build a supportive culture that prioritizes empathy and equity.
The course will cover practical strategies for identifying and implementing micro-accommodations, such as modifying communication styles, adjusting workspaces, and offering flexible schedules. Attendees will also learn how to approach accommodations proactively, promoting open dialogue and reducing stigma around asking for support.
Ideal for leaders, managers, and team members, this training empowers participants to contribute to a more inclusive and collaborative workplace culture. Together, we can break down barriers, encourage authenticity, and foster a community where everyone can perform at their best.
Join us to learn actionable steps for creating a workplace that doesn’t just tolerate differences but actively embraces them as a source of strength.
