Culture First: Building An Inclusive Workplace Workshop

Disability Awareness to Increase your Comfort, Confidence and Competence

The Southern Minnesota Disability Employment Network is excited to host Anne Phibbs, PhD as our workshop presenter. Anne is the founder and president of Strategic Diversity Initiatives. Her 90 minute workshop will include converstaions and exercises around:

• How micro-inequities and implicit bias play out in the workplace
• Steps we can take to address bias and create inclusive work environments
• Using universal design principles to increase accessibility and inclusion
• Creating workplaces where authentic dialogue and acting as allies are the norm

"Many of us desire workplaces and organizations that are welcoming and inclusive and also free from conflict. Creating truly equitable and inclusive spaces requires us to openly and authentically address conflict and not shy away from discussions that can be difficult, complex and even scary."
