ATD Mid NJ - Path To Belonging: Understanding and Overcoming Othering at the Workplace

Description:

Diversity has long since taken its place in our midst – in our private lives as well as in our companies and organizations. Immigration and diverse gender identities and orientations are creating a new freedom that brings opportunities for our companies and our society. But also new communication hurdles.

Even though often there is no malicious intention behind it, situations arise in which we discriminate against women or people with BIPoC, PoC & LGBTQIA* background. This discrimination is a result of unconsciously applied communication. The only way to overcome these hurdles is an active change of perspective, when we step out of our safe bubble to question our own privileges.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop a fundamental awareness of Othering, discrimination, intersectionality and microaggressions to foster mutual understanding.
• Engage in self-reflection regarding their own identities and commitment to allyship.
• Identify actionable steps that they can immediately implement in their daily lives at work and at home.
