Increasing emotional intelligence for building an inclusive workplace is an often overlooked key ingredient for fully embracing DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging). When emotionally intelligent skills are the foundation for inclusive workplaces, not only does the workplace help every member of the workforce feel welcome, it gives them tools to be mentally healthy and fit. In this presentation, iOpening Enterprises (iOE) uses its unique 3 A’s (Acknowledge, Ask, Adjust) framework–a tool to engage this intersection of wellness and DEIB for an inclusive workplace culture. Attendees will leave with strategies to counter toxic workplace practices with compassionate tools that promote equity and wellness. With stories and science-based tools for elevating your workplace into one that supports everyone’s mental and emotional well-being, the 3 A’s strengths-based approach to an inclusive workplace will bring confidence to your journey of building an equity-driven and wellness-focused workplace culture.
