Workplace
Our research-based tools can be implemented across your company to improve your corporate climate, foster belonging, and facilitate constructive dialogue about challenging topics.
The Inclusion & Belonging Challenge
Research demonstrates that inclusion and belonging pays. According to a 2021 BetterUp Study, employees with a greater sense of belonging showed a 56% increase in performance, a 75% decrease in sick days, and a 50% reduction in turnover. But fostering a truly inclusive workplace is easier said than done.
In recent years, divisive social issues have increasingly entered the workplace, making it ever more difficult to build a culture that's truly inclusive of people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and values. At the same time, companies are grappling with how to create a culture that values psychological safety and open dialogue, while establishing appropriate boundaries for workplace discourse.
There are no simple solutions to these challenges, but we're here to help.

E-Learning
Our evidence-based e-learning program, Perspectives, explores the inner workings of the mind and the psychological roots of our ideological differences.
The program provides employees with insights to better understand themselves and others and equips them with skills to engage in constructive dialogue across differences. Each 30 minute lesson is adaptive, tailoring itself to meet learners where they are.
In this lesson, employees:
Experientially learn about the two systems in our mind: automatic and controlled thinking.
Discover common cognitive biases that affect our reasoning, and how this leads people to interpret the same information differently.
Gain a practical technique to challenge their cognitive biases and gain more control over their thinking.

We offer a series of live trainings, including experiential workshops for leaders, capstone sessions for employees, and train-the-trainer sessions for in-house facilitators. Our trainings provide participants with practical, research-based skills for facilitating constructive dialogue about challenging topics.
