Session 3: Developing a Respectful and Collaborative Workplace for Everyone

Presenters: Dr. Zelihic & Dr. Thiry

Session Description: Please join Dr. Maja Zelihic and Dr. Katie Thiry to celebrate International Women’s Month in March.

Many of us have observed situations where gender dynamics have influenced workplace interactions. How organizations respond to those situations is key to overall organizational success. What can organizations do to foster a respectful and collaborative workplace for all? 

A key component of creating a respectful and collaborative workplace is for individual employees to develop greater self-awareness to support professional growth.

This panel discussion will focus on understanding and developing a respectful and collaborative workplace, examining some common misconceptions about leadership styles, and discussing what organizations can do to implement objective decision-making processes.

This series is FREE to attend; space is limited. Reservations are required.
