Women’s History Month Programming

In our line of work, we've found that organizations sometimes forget to consider the intersecting identities that shape women's experiences, especially at work. Our programming can help you avoid this blunder.

Flagship Resource: Exploring 40+ Dimensions of Diversity and Intersectionality at Work
Great For: Everyone
Duration: 2-4 hours

Intersectionality, or understanding the many dimensions of our identities and how they come together, is critical to designing effective DEI strategies. This session helps learners go beyond surface-level approaches that only prioritize one form of diversity, like gender, to support team members better. Learners unpack the harm of women-only or gender-first approaches, expand their understanding of diversity to include over 40 dimensions of identity, and explore the framework of intersectionality. Learners gain tools to better support team members with intersecting lived experiences by applying an intersectional lens to workplace allyship, events, data collection, and more.

Flagship Resource: A Guide to LGBTQIA2+ Inclusion in the Workplace 🌈
‍Great For: Everyone
Duration: 2-4 hours

This session helps learners understand the gender fundamentals, starting with the social construction of gender, the range of lived experiences of gender, and how this shows up in the workplace. Learners build a shared language around gender diversity and gender-based marginalization, explore practical strategies for inclusive communication, and learn to call in exclusionary behaviours. Learners explore tools to promote organization-wide gender inclusion relating to inclusive restroom policies, affirming dress guidelines, and gender transition and gender-affirming processes.

Flagship Resource: Let's Pause To Talk About Menopause and Ageism In The Workplace
‍Great For: Everyone
‍Duration: 2-4 hours

Cross-generational collaboration is crucial to team success, yet age-related biases and divides can go unnoticed and unaddressed in the workplace. Using an intersectional lens, this session helps learners understand people’s experiences of ageism in the workplace and build tools to challenge them.  Learners build a shared language and understanding around ageism and generational diversity and explore practical strategies for countering age-related stereotypes and catalyzing intergenerational empathy and cohesion. Learners gain the tools to design more inclusive workplace processes and programs that acknowledge the unique needs of every generation, from mentorship to menopause awareness.

Flagship Resource: How to Make Caring For Caregivers The New Normal: A Guide for Organizations
Great For: Managers
Duration: 2-4 hours

Caregiving is an enormous part of so many lives, yet it is often overlooked and rarely accounted for in the workplace. This session begins by broadening our understanding of who qualifies as a caregiver and delving into the various forms of caregiving – from caring for children and aging parents to supporting those in our communities. Learners will unpack common biases related to caregiving, the nuclear family, and the inequities and barriers caregivers encounter at work. The session also explores leading practices to promote caregiver inclusion, such as employing tools to communicate more inclusively about families and family formation, supporting caregiving colleagues, and designing effective policies and programs in the workplace.
