From EDI to Sense of Belonging – Bridging the Gap through Ubuntu
In this thought-provoking piece, Kendi will draw from her research and experience to discuss why we should all be thinking about Sense of Belonging as alongside Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
Taking a solutions-focused approach, Kendi will share tips on how EDI and Belonging initiatives can create greater value for organisations and deliver meaningful, sustainable change.
Join us in an authentic conversation about why belonging matters, as we ask:
How do we create more authentic enterprises?
What does sense of belonging look/feel like?
What about the protected characteristics?
How can we effectively address practices and structures that undermine sense of belonging among members of our workforce?
What can we learn from the African spirit of Ubuntu?
