Pro Tip - Let Attendees Opt Out of Introductions
This week I had the honor of attending a Culture First Denver Chapter event faciltated by the talented Acey Holmes. Something I loved about watching her facilitated what her not only leaning in her vulnerability and owning her belonging badge of 'neurodivergent.'
I also loved that she let attendees opt out of introducing or sharing all together. She just let people be whoever they wanted knowing that some may not feel comfortable sharing.
Instead of popcorn sharing or calling on the next person to share she let who ever share next and even share after they had something in common with the person who shared before. I thought this was a really powerful way to letting people share (or not).
Great job, Acey! I love learning from you!

2024 Workplace Culture Report
We are living in a vastly different world than when we published our last Workplace diversity equity, and inclusion report in 2022. Economic strain and sociopolitical backlash seem to have caused organizations to take a troubling step back from DEI initiatives.
However, many companies have responded to this climate by renewing their commitment with a pivot in their approach.
In this report, we’ll explore the latest DEI trends to understand the impact of decreasing investment in DEI, how this impacts employee engagement, and what organizations can do to make meaningful improvements that drive business impact.
By pairing DEI benchmark data from 390 companies and over 175,000 employees with State of the DEI Landscape survey results from 165 companies, our findings shed light on the actions and strategies that move the needle on DEI.
'The State of DEI: Navigating Challenges and Opportunities'

Culture Amp's recently released report, titled "2024 Workplace Culture Report" is a treasure trove of knowledge. We are living in a vastly different world than from the last report in 2022.
