Creating a Culture of Inclusion and Belonging
Inclusion and Belonging
By continually educating ourselves and engaging in meaningful conversation we are taking action. Action leads to change. And change is necessary for us to advance, together. Our focus must remain on how we can create a culture of inclusion and belonging – for all.
We encourage our community to continually seek training and education to ensure we are always doing more to understand the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion for all. Some of our initiatives include:
Education & Training
Unconscious Bias
Help colleagues recognize and understand the impact of unconscious bias, identify the connection between personal background, perceptions, and how to apply new strategies for practicing more conscious awareness in the workplace.
Racism - A Public Health Crisis
Increase leaders understanding of systemic racism and improve their capacity to lead more inclusively.
Cultural Proficiency: Our Journey to Health Equity
Equips colleagues with knowledge and tools focused on improving health outcomes and increasing patient satisfaction.
The More You Know
The More You Know digital education series recognizes and celebrates the many cultures, religions, and communities that represent Trinity Health's richly diverse population. For an example of a past volume, click here.
Colleague Resource Groups
Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs) leverage the unique strengths and experiences of colleagues to impact business innovation, colleague engagement, and community outreach efforts. Participation provides colleagues the opportunity to network with colleagues across the Ministry and develop leadership skills.
These colleague-led groups are made up of individuals who come together based on similar interests or experiences. CRG participation is voluntary and open to all colleagues who are interested in and support the objectives of the CRG, regardless of their origin or background. There are more than 30 unique CRGs that represent the following seven categories.
- African American
- Hispanic/LatinX
- Women
- LGBTQ+
- Veterans
- Health & Well-Being
- Special Interests
