Further, we will discuss what to expect with recent changes including the "Digital Portal" and the pandemic’s impact on the mediation program. The main discussion will center on mediation and the benefits of engaging in our mediation program.

1. To understand which laws the EEOC enforces and how this affects you as a professional.
2. To understand the stratification of an EEOC charge and how it may apply to your organization.
3. To understand the pandemic’s impact on the EEOC mediation program.

Topic: Culture Makers: Creating a Workplace Culture of Belonging through the Power of Emotional Intelligence
Deadline: May 31, 2023
Refunds: Cancellations must be made by May 31, 2023 in order to be fully refunded.
The collective stress of the past 2 years has left companies facing the greatest workplace adjustments in over a generation. The old models of ‘profit over people’ leadership and engagement are gone, replaced by a focus on belonging, empowerment, and company culture. According to a new Glassdoor survey, 77% of adults polled said they would “consider a company’s culture” before seeking a job there. Another 56% added that they found a good workplace culture to be “more important than salary” when it came to job satisfaction. Creating a culture of empowerment & belonging are now essential to engagement, productivity, retention, and attraction. But how is culture created and what tools can we utilize to create the culture that leads to healthy thriving workplaces? The answer starts with a mindset shift toward servant leadership and emotional intelligence…
In this high energy session, Jason Butler, author of The Village Mindset, will lay out the building blocks of creating a positive workplace culture that build belonging and strengthen engagement. Jason will begin by sharing the fundamentals of culture and explaining why this is important to the human psychology need for safety to participants. Next, he’ll define servant leadership with stories and examples and give participants the tools and mindset shift to incorporate these principles of empowerment throughout the life of our workplaces focusing first on “controlling what we can control” and positively influencing what we can’t. He’ll bring all this together in a fun, engaging, and relevant way that will give participants new ideas and resources to influence their companies for positive change.

*Zoom link will be provided following registration* This session will discuss Engaging in Healthy Conflict while at work.

This session will reframe conflict into a positive force and cover how to make conflict healthy, productive, and manageable. First, we will discuss why to engage in conflict and how to mitigate the destructive impact conflict can have on our wellbeing, our relationships, and our workplaces. Then we will discuss when to engage in conflict and when it is actually a better choice to step away. Finally, we will discuss how to engage in conflict and some tools and strategies that you can apply to the conflicts you are dealing with today.
1. To define conflict and understand its potential benefits.
2. To discuss when to engage in conflict and when to step away.
3. To add 5 tools and strategies for resolving conflicts to your toolkit.
