Creating diverse and inclusive workplaces brings numerous benefits, including the exploration of new opportunities. A panel discussion on the science behind psychological safety in the workplace is set to take place on Wednesday, May 15 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Communities Foundation of Texas in Dallas, TX.
Leaders play a crucial role in fostering an environment that promotes psychological safety, which has been shown to influence up to 70 percentage points in employees’ feelings of belongingness and psychological safety. Google’s 2017 study on high-performing teams highlighted psychological safety as a key factor in a team’s success. Dr. Janet Ahn, Chief Behavioral Science Officer at MindGym, and Nate Bennett, Senior Vice President Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Comerica Bank will be featured on the panel to discuss practical steps that leaders can take to build a more inclusive and high-performing culture.
The event will begin with a networking breakfast from 9 to 9:30 a.m., followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A starting at 9:30 a.m. Complimentary self-parking will be available for attendees, and tickets are priced at $60.

The event aims to provide valuable insights into the business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and how leaders can measure their impact while tracking progress towards building a more inclusive workplace culture.
