IHSI Diversity Committee Monthly Resources
Each month, the IHSI Diversity Committee shares resources and learning opportunities with the rest of IHSI staff. Curating and sharing these resources allow us to educate ourselves on various topics related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. As an institute devoted to promoting all forms of health, we want to share these resources more broadly with our campus and community stakeholders. We hope that you will find them as useful as we have.
Celebrate your wins!
Celebrating and recognizing successes, no matter how big or small, is important for cultivating a sense of inclusion and belonging in the workplace.
This month, Maggie Berg, Senior Research Development Manager, shares resources she learned about from a NORDP colleague that talk about the benefits of celebrating progress and how infusing joy into the workplace helps everyone reach their full potential.
Small Wins, Big Impact: Recognizing and Celebrating Progress at Work (5-minute read) discusses the benefits of celebrating the small stuff and recognizing accomplishments. A work culture that celebrates wins not only boosts morale but strengthens team connections.
In his TEDx Talk, Making Every Work Day A Great Day! (10 minute video), Shan Foster talks about how joy may be the secret ingredient to a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace and poses the question, “What if the expectation was that we all show up having a great day at work? What would change?”
