Let’s face it…keeping New Year’s resolutions is tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. If you have made a personal resolution to do more in your workplace to build an inclusive organization, and you aren’t certain where to start, look no further! The RPC Team has developed the 30-Day Belonging Challenge specifically to help you take everyday actions to cultivate a workplace culture of belonging. When you enroll in the Challenge, you’ll spend about 5 minutes each day (tops!) incorporating some of the concepts from Rhodes Perry’s new book, Belonging At Work. So what are you waiting for? Enroll today, encourage a friend or a colleague to join you, and together let’s grow the #BelongingMovement!

On National Coming Out Day (October 11), I had the honor of moderating a panel discussion about dismantling workplace barriers for transgender and non-binary (TNB) people at Portland State University’s School of Business. The event was organized for participants interested in learning more about the workplace barriers TNB people in the Portland Metropolitan Area endure, and how community members can help dismantle them. Students, business leaders, elected officials, and government executives all showed up to the event to gain new knowledge, skills, and support in being a part of a community effort to expand economic opportunities for TNB people.
