In this workshop, you'll learn how you can use curiosity as a tool for preventing microaggressions and creating a safe space for all people in your workplace.

This interactive workshop will show you how to create spaces where microaggressions aren't just publicized — they're actually prevented.

This workshop will include:

• An intro activity to help determine who in your workplace might be experiencing microaggressions
• A role-playing activity to teach you how to address microaggressions as they happen

Participants will learn how to adopt new understandings of adaptive environments in influencing their diversity and inclusion work as well as to take a multifaceted & intersectional approach to data analysis, ensuring everybody counts and their cultural identities are respected, recognized and represented. By adopting such a mindset, organizational leaders can affect team performance in a more engaging, transformational way.

Here at Moves, we have implemented different initiatives to create a culture where people want to stay and feel like their contribution makes a difference in our product and customers. In our presentation, we will share with you a few of those initiatives:

• Consistent and inclusive communication
• Encouraging transparency from all angles; including asking employees to be honest with their managers about whether they are thinking of applying elsewhere or getting contacted by recruiters.
• Regular organised social events
• Social channels that are purely for getting to know your coworkers better and opportunities for coworkers to share their passions and things they love
• Celebrating diversity in all its forms including wishing happy holidays for all cultural holy days and removing the phrase "guys" when referring to groups of people.

In his workshop, Kostiantyn Gridin, the founder of the Global Inclusion Online Forum and partner at CFC Big Ideas, will talk about his method for setting diversity and inclusion goals:

• focusing on employee satisfaction rates while using demographic percentages as one of the indicators;

• setting up a hiring system that does not allow decision makers to apply their biases;

• setting up an automatic promotion system, based on scores and KPIs, without a need for a human decision.

As a result, the attendees of the workshop will leave the session with readiness to:

• apply diversity and inclusion models;

• apply inclusive hiring principles and criteria, which will give no room for candidate complaints;

• apply the promotion system, eliminating biases and discrimination.
