Fostering an Inclusive Culture

Join the ARF Cultural Effectiveness Council to explore how organizations can foster a truly inclusive workplace culture. This session will delve into new qualitative and quantitative research on workplace microaggressions, presenting stories and data that illuminate how subtle biases shape organizational dynamics. Panelists will delve into insights gathered from a national sample of U.S. employees and detailed narratives from market research professionals. Attendees will gain:

• A comprehensive understanding of microaggressions, their nuanced impact on workplace culture, and how different segments of the population experience and respond to them.
• Insights on the varied experiences of different racial, ethnic, and age groups.
• Guidance on the types of research that organizations can conduct to improve inclusivity.
• Practical strategies for promoting inclusivity and strengthening organizational culture in 2025 and beyond.

Plus, we will cover research from a large organization as part of a successful “blueprint for belonging” at that organization. This impactful event will conclude with a dynamic panel discussion addressing critical questions such as what an inclusive culture looks like, how to safeguard and sustain DEI efforts, and what forward-thinking practices are essential to foster.
