“This emotional tax is defined as "the heightened experience of being treated differently from peers due to race/ethnicity or gender, triggering adverse effects on health and feelings of isolation and making it difficult to thrive at work." - Catalyst Report 2016. In recent history we have seen the rise of BLM, sad and internationally known cases of unjust racial killings including George Floyd and Breanna Taylor, have seen workers demand more corporate social responsibility in the workplace and support for inclusive wellness policies in the workplace.

When you leave this workshop you will be equipped with tools and strategies to put in place an inclusive wellbeing strategy that will help you retain minorityand under-represented talent in your company.
