February — Black History Month

"Understanding the Black Experience: Confronting Myths and Cultivating Inclusive Workplaces"

Presented by Carissa Gravelle, Inclusivity

Myths about anti-Black racism in Canada limit our ability to address and eliminate inequity. Confronting these myths and learning Black history is an important first step. This webinar will uncover the realities of slavery and racism in Canadian history, connecting these historical injustices to the ongoing barriers and discrimination faced by Black communities today. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the Black experience and leave with actionable steps to better support Black colleagues in the workplace and beyond.

March – Gender Equality Month | International Women’s Day

"Fair Feedback for Gender Equity"

Presented in partnership with MinervaBC

People of all genders receive critical feedback, yet women are more likely to receive feedback that is negative versus constructive. This is also true for racialized workers and employees over the age of 40. This session will explore how our biases and entrenched beliefs about leadership and professionalism impact our ability to provide fair feedback. It will also highlight strategies to reduce the impact of bias – whether you are a leader providing performance support, or an employee receiving not-so-helpful feedback.

Presented in partnership with Len Pierre Consulting

May – Mental Health Month

"The Power of Words: Inclusive Language for Mental Health & Ability"

Presented by: Roselene Dhaliwal, Director, Equity & Inclusion, Canadian Mental Health Association BC

Inclusive language can be a tool for advocacy and has the ability to shift culture to create workplaces where everyone feels welcome and respected. In this session, Roselene Dhaliwal MEd, will highlight guiding principles for inclusive language and terminology to use (and terms to avoid) when speaking about mental health, and ability. Each of us can contribute to a compassionate culture, by choosing our words carefully.

June – Pride Month

"Addressing Microaggressions: Building Inclusive Workplaces for the LGBTQIA+ Community"

Presented by: Layla Haddad, Inclusivity

Did you know that more than one in three people from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community have experienced discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity in the past year? This figure only begins to reflect the broader issue, as it doesn’t account for the frequent microaggressions—those subtle yet damaging slights and biases—that 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals face in their everyday lives. As we celebrate Pride Month this June, it’s important to understand some of the common microaggressions facing the community and how we can stand up against them to foster an environment where all employees, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, feel respected, valued and empowered.

September – Truth & Reconciliation

"Indigenous Allyship"

In a journey towards reconciliation, allies who speak up and show up with tangible actions can help to create meaningful change. In practice, allyship requires those with power and privilege to affect change in both the culture and systems that shape our organizations. Join us as we explore what it means to be an ally and principles of Indigenous allyship.

October – Global Diversity Awareness

"Uncovering at Work: Creating Psychologically Safe Spaces for Teams"

Presented in partnership with Carol Markwei

In today’s society, each of us has an identity that shapes how we see ourselves and others. Not only do our social norms and cultural backgrounds influence our experiences, they also set the course for how we view the world. But what happens when people feel pressure to minimize their identity at work? Covering one’s identity in the workplace remains a widespread practice. Explore ways to create psychologically safe spaces for your team and promote a work environment that not only acknowledges but celebrates the diverse identities among us.

December – International Disability Awareness Day

"Interrupting Ableism"

Presented in partnership with Untapped Accessibility

Unconscious bias and ableism are woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. Interrupting ableism and practicing meaningful allyship is all of our collective responsibility. In this webinar, we will examine what ableism means and how it shows up. We’ll outline strategies for being an active bystander and offer useful practices like messing up & moving on, and calling out & calling in.

What our clients are saying

Inclusivity designed and facilitated an unconscious bias and inclusive communication session that our team said was ‘one of the best workshops they’ve ever participated in’. The facilitator was incredibly engaging and brought a great depth of experience and subject matter expertise to the discussion. I highly recommend Inclusivity for any organization looking for an inspiring and impactful training program.“

Inclusivity delivered an excellent ‘Building Inclusive Culture’ workshop to our Board of Directors. The facilitator took time before the workshop to learn about the participants and build something that really spoke to their questions and needs. The group was actively engaged for the full four hours (and left asking for more. We finished the workshop feeling inspired and aligned on next steps."

A quick note of thank you and appreciation to all for contributing to an amazing session this morning! I have so much to learn, and I can’t wait. A HUGE thanks to you for starting the conversation and providing me with the opportunity to contribute!"

Inclusivity delivered two unconscious bias sessions at our annual conference, the second was standing room only once word got out about how great the first session was! The facilitator incorporates their personal and professional experience and was able to present practical and actionable steps for how we can tackle issues of bias and build an inclusive community for our employees and members. Importantly, they also created a safe space for us to share our experiences and learn from each other."
