Many of our clients have accidentally "stepped in it," as we like to say, around certain holidays or celebrations, such as planning a large cookout during Ramadan or hosting a company-wide meeting on Diwali. While unintended, these oversights can result in alienating employees who observe cultural and religious celebrations and holidays that are significant to them. It’s important for organizations to be mindful of events that are recognized by employees from all backgrounds to create a culture of belonging. people3, Inc.’s Inclusive Culture Calendar serves as a roadmap to help organizations strategically integrate important events into their organizational culture, fostering awareness and appreciation for the diverse backgrounds of team members that shape your organization. From cultural observances to awareness campaigns, the calendar includes a carefully curated list of holidays, cultural awareness celebrations, and national events that emphasize the celebration of diversity and inclusivity in your organization.

LAST DAY TO REGISTER!! Join Dr. Candace Warner, Ph.D. and Sonal Schneider tomorrow, Wednesday, December 6th, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (CST) to learn about how generational differences often become more pronounced when multiple generations interact within a workplace. In the current U.S. workforce, there are four…sometimes five generations working together within an organization. With Gen Z’s entrance into the workforce, Millennials taking on leadership roles, and Baby Boomers phasing into retirement, addressing these generational shifts is increasingly important for organizations. To gain insight into effectively bridging generational divides, join the people3 team for our public workshop “From Boomers to Zoomers: Uniting Generations for Success in the Workplace” by registering here: https://lnkd.in/eWbkwJ_P #people3 #DEI #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #GenerationalDiversity #InclusionMatters
