SUMMARY:Join us for October's Lunch and Learn
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. 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; and\nreview examples of microaffirmations and how to support a diverse workforce.\n\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.

Strategies to support a diverse talent pool are needed at every stage of the hiring process. \nIn this training\, participants will: \n\nlearn the importance of attracting a diverse talent pool;\ndiscuss the benefits of mitigating bias in the hiring process; and\nconsider immediate strategies and tactics for more equitable hiring and talent attraction.\n\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 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: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.
