About this event

Join us for this practical workshop aimed at equipping HR leaders and Culture Creators with actionable toolkits and strategies to implement and operationalize their vision of a more inclusive and accessible workplace!

Facilitator:

Emily Goodson experienced a brain injury when she was 8 years old and has lived with a physical disability ever since. Emily will use her story and HR expertise to lead a discussion on dismantling disability stigma in the workplace. This session will challenge misconceptions, foster empathy, and equip participants with practical tools to create a more inclusive and supportive environment.

Key takeaways include:

- Identifying and challenging disability stereotypes

- Developing language and behaviors that promote inclusivity

- Building effective communication and collaboration skills

- Discussing practical strategies for fostering an accessible workplace

- Becoming an ally for individuals with disabilities

This is going to be a one-of-a-kind Culture First Event as Geneva connects LIVE with Emily from New York and chapter members from Dubai and Singapore, to participate in this truly global community collaboration and exchange of best practices on disability inclusion from different jurisdictions!

Hoping to see Chapter Members participate and represent Lemanic perspective by sharing their insights and experiences!
