October Training Spotlight: Inclusiveness & Understanding Bias

We heard from staff in the 2023 ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Employee Feedback Survey about the importance of inclusion for job satisfaction. This month the ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å HR Talent Acquisition and Development Team has curated a collection of videos that explore critical themes of inclusiveness and diversity, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing unconscious bias in our daily interactions and offering practical strategies for enhancing communication. Through engaging narratives and expert insights, learn how to become effective allies, fostering supportive environments that celebrate differences and promote equitable representation.

Whether you want to feel more cohesion within a group, are leading a team or project, or are a supervisor looking for ways to foster an inclusive and diverse workplace, there is a course here for you! 

features a different theme on each row; Unconscious Bias, Empathy, Allyship, Cross-Cultural Communication, Multigenerational Communication, Supporting Underrepresented Groups, Inclusion, DEI Foundations, Leadership, and Inclusive Design.

The ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Talent Acquisition and Development team is committed to President Pitney’s priority strategy of creating and enhancing self-service training materials for employees. Regardless of your role at ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å, take control of your development and steer your career in a direction that aligns with your goals, enhances your skills, and maximizes your potential in the workplace.
