About the Webinar:
As practitioners in the ombuds and conflict resolution fields, we may come across issues arising out of unfair practices and unequal treatments. This session is designed to share how ombuds and conflict resolution practitioners may contribute to improving an organization's culture by being more inclusive!. As folks on the frontline, we will hear issues regarding race, discrimination, inequities- the not so fun issues. And we can help in more ways than we know. Concepts that will be highlighted in this session include transculturalism, linguistic diversity, conflict management, and communication.

Objectives:

• Understand how practitioners can identify inequities in their organization with trends and patterns
• Understand how to recognize the presence of transgenerational trauma in the workplace as it relates to systemic issues and inclusion
• Learn how to apply the tools and techniques of linguistics diversity and communication as it relates to building and sustaining inclusion in your organization
