Make team members feel valued and safe; here’s how

What can we do to ensure that all of our team members feel they belong and are valued?

Get practical tips to help create positive changes in your workplace in Brave Spaces, a new educational module just released by Journey for Teams. 

Exploring ways to ensure that our workplaces are “brave spaces”—inclusive environments where all team members feel they belong and actively participate—this 15-minute module points to actions we all can take to support one another. For example:

• Take a closer look at our meetings to assess inclusivity.
• Do something outside of our comfort zones.
• Choose to be purposely empathetic.

Everyone plays a part in helping to create a brave space in the workplace. Challenge yourself to examine what your role will be.
