Happy New Year JLab Family!

I hope everyone had a great holiday break and ready to begin the new year refreshed and recharged!

At last month’s DEI Council we discussed the Importance of Belonging at Work.  The information was shared at this week’s JLab Weekly, but in case you missed it, you can read it here - The Importance of Belonging at Work<https://www.jlab.org/sites/default/files/diversity/Files/The%20Importance%20of%20Belonging%20at%20Work.pdf>.  This month we celebrate World Braille Day and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day which is an official Holiday for JLab on January 17th.  You can view more information and additional resources on all things DEI here - DEI Website<https://www.jlab.org/human_resources/diversity/culture>.

We have a lot of events this quarter so please review the information below and save the date, we’d love to see you all there!  If you would like to attend any courses/meetings, please let me know and I can send you a calendar invite.  Also, please feel free to pass this email to your colleagues in case they are not currently a part of the Inclusion Mailing List.  It’s easy to sign up by clicking here - Inclusion Mailing List<https://mailman.jlab.org/mailman/listinfo/inclusion>

Have a great day,
Aurora

Overcoming Barriers to Communication is a course created to assist employees to understand various barriers to communication.  Through this course, attendees will realize the impact of medium and delivery on communication, recognize potential barriers to effective communication and how this translates into everyday work interactions.  Participants will understand cultural differences (language and cultural context), gender stereotypes and unconscious bias, and how all these factors hinder good communication.  Participants will learn strategies and gain tools on how to become more effective communicators.

SafeZone/LGBTQ+ Educational Session

The SafeZone/LGBTQ+ Educational Session is an opportunity for everyone, including our LGBTQ+ colleagues, allies and all who are interested in learning. During this session, we will review LGBTQ+ core terminology, discuss our personal relations to LGBTQ+ subjects and engage each other on how we can become better allies and advocates for our LGBTQ+ colleagues. This session is voluntary and advanced notice of participation is not required.
