During Orientation, HR encouraged us to bring our “whole selves” to work! What were they thinking?! We obliged by showing up our talents, but also our disparate worldviews, life-histories, beliefs, and individual cultures. In theory, we should all get along for the benefit of our residents, right? Precious few organizations provide education or training that teaches how to unite around issues that divide the world outside of our buildings. Every measure of our success hinges on our ability to cherish and honor EVERY team member.</p> <p>DEI: Name It, Aim It, and Claim It! is your golden ticket to the worries, wounds, and countless wins of a Healthcare Executive, 20-year Chief Learning Officer, and nationally successful DEI Practitioner. Here are just a few of the critical questions this experience addresses:</p> <ul> <li>Do DEI committees work, who should lead them, and how to decide on realistic goals?</li> <li>What processes create safe and honest spaces for tough conversations and conflicts?</li> <li>How can you identify and remediate the cultural blind spots that threaten your effectiveness?</li> <li>How can you increase your courage and inspire accountability from others who aren’t committed to DEI principles?</li> </ul> <p>Together, we will problem-solve and identify organizational policies, traditions, and the unwritten rules that sabotages DEI success. What could be more fulfilling than creating the workplace culture that aligns with the mission, vision, and values? Isn’t that the “New Normal” our residents deserve? Wear comfortable clothes. We’ve got some stretching to do!</p> <h4><small>REGISTRATION INFORMATION</small></h4> <p>This is an on-demand webinar available at your convenience.</p> <p>Product Code: 324WB0523</p> <hr /> <h4><small>SPEAKER</small></h4> <p><strong>Christopher Ridenhour</strong><br /> Leadership Trainer/Educator<br /> Director of Core Competency Training for Liberty Lutheran Services</p> <p>As Director of Core Competency Training for Liberty Lutheran Services, Christopher delivers a high impact performance-based curriculum to a diverse staff of 1,200.

Environmental services professionals are non-clinical staff operating in a clinical space so effective communication is critical to the success of their job, as well as to the health care environment.   <br /> <br /> This paper outlines the importance of effective communication and motivation in the environmental services workplace. It talks about how the leaders in the industry can have an impact on the department, and when it may be necessary to make changes in these leaders.
