Diverse and inclusive workplaces bring numerous benefits, including the exploration of new opportunities. The importance of psychological safety in these environments is evident from research, which shows that leaders play a crucial role in fostering this environment. According to Harvard Business Review, leaders can influence up to 70 percent of employees’ feelings of belongingness and psychological safety. Google’s 2017 study on high-performing teams also highlighted psychological safety as a key factor in a team’s success.
To build a more inclusive and high-performing culture, the panel aims to examine the science behind psychological safety in the workplace and provide practical steps that leaders can take. The discussion will also explore the business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, how leaders can measure their impact, and what metrics they can use to track progress.
The event will take place on Wednesday, May 15 from 9 to 11 a.m., at the Communities Foundation of Texas in Dallas, TX. The agenda includes a networking breakfast from 9 to 9:30 a.m., followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A starting at 9:30 a.m. Complimentary self-parking will be available for attendees, and tickets are priced at $60.
The panel will feature Dr. Janet Ahn, Chief Behavioral Science Officer at MindGym, and Nate Bennett, Senior Vice President Chief Diversity, Equity
