Count Me In® for Diversity & Inclusion

In Gallup surveys of more than five million people working in five hundred organizations, one of the best predictors of how happy someone felt on their job was agreement with the statement: “I have a best friend at work.” In another study of employees at seven hundred companies, the majority said liking their boss was a prime driver of both productivity and retention. (Summary taken from The New York Times, “The Wisdom of Thoughtfulness”).

The challenge of inclusion grows ever more difficult during these times of accelerating change and uncertainty. Count Me In® teaches inclusion as a daily practice, connecting employees across a host of differences. Positive, practical and action-oriented, Count Me In® inspires leaders at every level to welcome innovation, appreciate others and encourage contribution.

• Discover the hidden yet pervasive influence of microinequities: small daily acts of exclusion that damage morale, undermine teamwork and chip away at productivity.
• Counter this effect using micro-affirmations: valuing behavior and assertive communications.
• Practice influence strategies while overcoming barriers that keep us apart.
• Use questions, positive assertion, valuing behavior, and constructive feedback to build relationships and leverage difference.
• Identify and overcome barriers to inclusion.                                        Count Me In^® brochure
