Here are 10 signs you should attend the DEI summit on Anti Semitism for HR & DEI folks hosted by the UJA-Federation of New York on December 6th. If 2 or more apply to you or your organization, you should probably sign up. 1. You hadn't really thought Jews needed a voice in DEI initiatives 2. It will make some of your DEI core team members uncomfortable to find out you are going 3. You think there are practicing jews among your employees, but they don't seem to mention their observances much 4. It took over a week to issue a statement following October 7th. When you read the statement today, it doesn't really say much of anything. 5. Real quick- Christmas is December 25th, when does Hanukkah start? 6. You wouldn't be surprised if a manager innocently asked an employee, “but you accept Christ as the savior, right?” 7. You wouldn't be surprised if someone told an employee that “holiday observance isn't a good enough reason not to work on something.” 8. You have an employee that keeps kosher and they need to proactively request and then follow up several times to ensure they have a meal at a company event. 9. You were shocked by protests calling for death to the Jews following October 7th. 10. You aren't aware of protests calling for death to the Jews following October 7th. Not all of these experiences are mine, but they are real. https://lnkd.in/dWbkpX6J

Joe Dyer's post, below, celebrating the great team at DISHER shows how important appreciation really is. We often talk about recognition, or commending an employee on a job well done, as essential for employee satisfaction, engagement and productivity. However, appreciation is about recognizing the qualities of the person rather than the quality of the job, which is something far more meaningful, and durable. #appreciationday #recognition #companyculture #employeeengagement #productivity #employeesatisfaction

🌟There’s no doubt about what the basis of DE&I should be: communication. 🌟 At Dentsply Sirona, we work with the concept of a Conversation of Understanding (COU), a structured, proactive approach to fostering dialogue and empathy within our workplace community. As part of our ongoing DE&I Month celebration, we hosted a company-wide COU on the topic of ‘Psychological Safety in the workplace’. But what exactly is psychological safety in the workplace? 💡 It's about feeling empowered to take risks, share ideas and concerns, be curious, and admit mistakes without fear of repercussions. It's the bedrock of a healthy, thriving work environment. 🎙️Our three conversation champions Kim Mongiello, Bruce Peatey, and Lisia Malcolm drove the conversation by sharing their personal stories and experiences. Their insights illuminated why psychological safety is not just important, but essential at Dentsply Sirona. By nurturing a culture of openness and trust, we empower our teams to excel, innovate, and bring their authentic selves to work. We firmly believe that by embracing diversity and fostering psychological safety, we unlock the full potential of our workforce. In essence creating an environment that allows us all to show up to work as our authentic selves, leveraging our superpowers – our key strengths! #proudtobeDS #diversity #psychologicalsafety #ERG
