WTC RESOURCES
WTC ADVICE FOR WORKING TOGETHER
Being open and transparent allows organizations to cultivate greater awareness, enlighten individuals about the impact of bias and discrimination, build DEI capabilities, and foster inclusive cultures that honor all voices. For this reason, WTC has cultivated a DEI resources page, with valuable information on both DEI challenges and potential solutions.
Inclusive leadership involves being an ally – to align, listen, learn, and yield
Being an active ally means passing the mic. And, if you’re making it about yourself, you’re doing it wrong
When talking about difficult subjects at work, did you consider the “hot tea test” or “impact vs. intent”
