Speak Up, Step Up: Fostering a Workplace Where Feedback Fuels Change
April 2nd, 10am PT / 1pm ET
Building an inclusive and respectful workplace isn’t just leadership’s job—it’s everyone’s responsibility. But to truly foster a positive culture, employees need the confidence and tools to address non-inclusive behavior when they see it.
When employees feel empowered to speak up and step up, feedback becomes a tool for change rather than a source of fear. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to create a culture where feedback isn’t avoided but embraced. You’ll learn how to confidently address inappropriate behavior, support colleagues, and contribute to a healthier, more inclusive work environment. Because when feedback flows, so does positive change.
