SUMMARY:Join us for March's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:March 15 – Laying the Groundwork: Your Role in an Inclusive Workplace \nHow do we create the space needed to have meaningful conversations across different dimensions of diversity? In today’s multifaceted world\, building skills for inclusive conversations in the workplace is crucial. To foster inclusive interactions\, we’ll discuss the personal competencies that need to be developed such as commitment\, consistency\, empathy\, and trust. Building a culture of inclusion asks us for full participation as we understand our biases and adjust our approaches. \nIn this training\, participants will:\n• discuss the conditions needed to have inclusive interactions;\n• reflect upon and discuss barriers to individual DEI action; and\n• review ways to build and sustain psychologically safe spaces for these conversations. \nBreakout rooms will be used.\nParticipation will be an essential component for this conversation. \nVibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learn brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal\, interactive\, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge. Breakout rooms are used; there is no requirement to appear on camera. \nMembers interested in registering: email Allegra: allegrae@vibrantpittsburgh.org \nNOT a Member? Connect with the Membership Engagement Team to take advantage of this benefit.

SUMMARY:Join us for March's Resilience Through Equity Series
DESCRIPTION:The Role of Accountability Metrics in DEI \nOrganizations seeking to accomplish diversity\, equity\, and inclusion as measurable outcomes understand the importance of metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Often\, organizations focus on DEI trainings and external messaging first. However\, it is vital for organizational leaders to explore accountability systems within their organizations\, how they can be implemented and how to ensure their effectiveness. One way is to focus internally is through employee engagement or pulse surveys. Does your organization collect and analyze internal data? Does your organization have metrics in place to measure the effectiveness of your DEI initiatives? What do you do with this information once you have it? \nPlease join our panelists as they discuss and highlight novel programming influenced by gathering and interpreting data from employees that show how their diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives went from “a thing we do” to “how we do all things.” \nResilience Through Equity Series (RTES) \nThis series is an opportunity for Vibrant Pittsburgh to highlight and tackle critical opportunities to improve the practices\, policies\, and cultures of organizations in the Pittsburgh region\, increasing the impact of our collective DE&I efforts. It focuses on the categories from the Vibrant Index Diagnostic Tool.  RTES connects you to expertise in the region and beyond. \nWhat to expect: \n\nOccurs every other month at 9:00 am\n\nZoom Webinar format\nSpeaker and panelist present for 45 minutes with 15 minutes of Q/A\n\nMembers interested in registering: Please contact Allegra: allegrae@vibrantpittsburgh.org \nNOT a Member? Connect with the Membership Engagement Team to take advantage of this benefit.

SUMMARY:Join us for April's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:April 19 – Inclusive Workplaces Start with Inclusive Meetings \nInclusive leaders commit to ensuring all team members are treated equitably\, feel a sense of belonging and have the resources and support they need. One concrete place to start is with how we run our internal meetings. Inclusive meetings create an environment in which everyone can contribute. Building a culture of inclusive meetings asks us to understand our biases that diminish the effectiveness of our teams and adjust our approach to meeting facilitation. \nIn this training participants will:\no learn how to foster a culture of inclusive meetings;\no understand the basics of running an inclusive meeting; and\no review and practice these concepts in real-time. \nVibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learn brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal\, interactive\, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge.

SUMMARY:Join us for July's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:July 12 – Building the Diversity of Your Talent Streams\, Part 1 \nDecades of research by organizational scientists\, sociologists\, economists\, and demographers show that socially diverse groups (that is\, those with a diversity of race\, ethnicity\, gender\, and sexual orientation\, for example) are more innovative than homogeneous groups. However\, simply having a diverse workforce does not always guarantee an inclusive workplace. Strategies to support a diverse talent pool are needed at every stage of the hiring process. \nIn this training participants will:\no learn the importance of attracting a diverse talent pool;\no discuss the benefits of mitigating bias in the hiring process;\no consider immediate strategies and tactics for more equitable hiring and talent attraction. \nVibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learn brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal\, interactive\, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge. Breakout rooms are used; there is no requirement to appear on camera. \nMembers interested in registering\, please email Allegra: allegrae@vibrantpittsburgh.org \nNOT a Member?

SUMMARY:Join us for November's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:November 8 – Microaggressions and Microaffirmations: Opportunities for Inclusion \nFor those seeking to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace\, “microaggressions” have become a point of focus. Microaggressions are subtle\, sometimes well-intended\, yet insensitive comments that are rooted in stereotypes and implicit biases. As a concept\, microaggressions challenge us to take a hard look at how we treat others\, determine if our intentions align with our impact\, and do the work to change our behaviors. Microaggressions also have a flip side: “microaffirmations” are the small acts which occur wherever people wish to help others to succeed. \nIn this training\, participants will: \n\nlearn what microaggression are\ndiscuss how to recognize microaggressions and how to draw attention to them in a non-confrontational way to create access and reduce stereotypes\nreview examples of microaffirmations and how to support a diverse workforce\n\nVibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learn brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal\, interactive\, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge.

SUMMARY:Vibrant Learning Labs: Unlocking the Power of Employee Networks
DESCRIPTION:Vibrant Learning Labs \nUnlocking the Power of Employee Networks \nSuccessful employee networks like Affinity Groups\, ERGs\, ENGs\, and EBRGs are vital for fostering workplace inclusion by promoting a sense of belonging and acceptance. They offer employees opportunities to connect\, engage\, access information and resources\, and advance their careers. According to McKinsey and Company employee networks “help employees feel that they can be authentic at work and derive more meaning and purpose from the work that they do. Employee networks strengthen acceptance\, camaraderie\, and fairness across groups and help members build allyship.” \nThis Vibrant Learning Lab will provide a comprehensive understanding of employee networks and equip participants with practical skills to navigate all stages of employee network development. The discussions and activities will explore real-world examples of opportunities and success\, allowing participants to apply concepts learned during the workshop. \nWorkshop Participants will: \n\nreview current data\, trends\, and benefits to discover what is needed to engage with employee networks at their organization;\nexamine employee network plans\, steps needed to establish or maintain these plans\, and how to implement and monitor them;\ndraft a blueprint for planning\, launching\, sustaining\, or engaging employee networks at their respective organizations.\n\nThis series is an opportunity for Vibrant Pittsburgh to highlight and tackle critical opportunities to improve the practices\, policies\, and cultures of organizations in the Pittsburgh region\, increasing the impact of our collective DE&I efforts. It focuses on the nine pillars of the Vibrant Index. Vibrant Learning Labs connects you to expertise in the region and beyond. \nMembers interested in registering\, please email Matthew: matthewy@vibrantpittsburgh.org \nNOT a Member? Connect with the Membership Engagement Team to take advantage of this benefit.

SUMMARY:Join us for April's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Accessibility: Promoting a Culture of Disability Inclusion\, part 1 \nDisability inclusion is about more than just physical accessibility; it’s about creating an environment where individuals with disabilities\, whether observable or invisible\, feel valued\, understood\, and supported. To do this\, we must recognize the unique challenges they face and the unique skills they bring to the workplace. By identifying the broad spectrum of disabilities\, implementing supportive policies and practices\, leveraging technology\, and promoting participation and leadership\, organizations can move towards true inclusivity. In this two-part series\, we will go beyond mere accessibility measures to explore how organizations can foster a culture of genuine inclusion for individuals with disabilities. \nParticipants will:\n• Understand the difference between accessibility and disability inclusion.\n• Explore the benefits of promoting a culture of disability inclusion in the workplace.\n• Gain practical insights into creating environments where individuals of all abilities feel valued and respected. \n“A genuinely inclusive workplace not only benefits employees with disabilities but enriches the entire organization\, fostering innovation\, empathy\, and a culture of respect and understanding.”\n-Puneet Siingha \nVibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learns brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal\, interactive\, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge.

SUMMARY:Join us for July's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Building the Diversity of Your Talent Streams\, Immediate Strategies \nDecades of research by organizational scientists\, sociologists\, economists\, and demographers show that socially diverse groups (that is\, those with a diversity of race\, ethnicity\, gender\, and sexual orientation\, for example) are more innovative than homogeneous groups.

DESCRIPTION:Microaggressions and Microaffirmations: Opportunities for Inclusion \nFor those seeking to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace\, “microaggressions” have become a point of focus.

SUMMARY:Join us for January's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Empathy: Building Cultures of Inclusion and Trust \nAs the journey towards inclusive workplaces continues\, empathy has been increasingly recognized as an essential tool in today’s workplace. Empathy and the capacity to connect with people are crucial in our professional and personal lives. Research from Ernst & Young shows an empathetic mindset creates trust between employees and managers. Empathy has a powerful impact on productivity\, job satisfaction\, and workplace motivation.​ \nIn this training\, we will:\n• understand factors that create inclusive & empathetic workplaces\, commitment\, trust\, and practice;​\n• discuss the components of creating a psychologically safe work environment where employees feel safe to share ideas\, take risks\, and be their authentic selves; and\n• understand our role in creating an inclusive workplace for all. \nVibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learns brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal\, interactive\, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge. Breakout rooms are used sometimes; there is no requirement to appear on camera. \nMembers interested in registering\, please email Matthew: matthewy@vibrantpittsburgh.org \nNOT a Member?
