Conversations That Matter: Unlocking Talent Through Inclusion
In today’s diverse workplaces, inclusion isn’t just a value—it’s a leadership skill. This interactive workshop is designed to equip managers with the confidence, tools and practical know-how to create inclusive environments where all employees, including those with disabilities, can succeed. Through real-world scenarios, guided discussions and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to:
- navigate and lead effective conversations around workplace accommodation
- recognize and remove barriers to inclusion
- foster a team culture that values diverse strengths and perspectives
- identify helpful resources
This is more than training—it’s a call to action for managers to lead inclusively, unlock hidden talent and make meaningful impact, one conversation at a time.
Creating an Inclusive Workplace Culture
The overall goal of this workshop is to engage you in reflection on what you can do to create a culture of inclusion for persons with disabilities.
At the end of this interactive session, participants will be able to:
- explain the impact of a positive workplace culture on the inclusion of persons with disabilities
- use neutral or non-ableist words to foster diversity and inclusion in the federal public service
Participants will be equipped to learn more about disability inclusion and what they can do to positively influence workplace culture.
