The webinar will consider the importance of DEI in the veterinary workplace.
A free webinar on the benefits of achieving diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the veterinary workplace will be held by the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) later this month.
The webinar, entitled 'Creating a Culture of Belonging – a DEI Approach to Optimizing Team Performance in Veterinary Practice', will take place at 1.00pm GMT on Tuesday 22 February 2022.
DEI as an approach supports the representation and participation of diverse groups of people, including those of different genders, races and ethnicities, cultures, backgrounds, religions, ages, sexual orientations and abilities.
The webinar will explore how organizations can enhance the performance of staff by recognising and embracing differences, and will discuss the importance of belonging and the role that 'workplace belonging' plays in improving performance.
Dr Debbie Stoewen, member of the WSAVA's Professional Wellness Group (PWG), said: “Cultivating a culture of belonging in the workplace is a journey, not a destination.
“It takes learning, commitment, patience, endurance, and tenacity. And it begins with you and your willingness to embrace the everyday actions you can take. The time is now.”
Dr Nienke Endenburg, Chair of the PWG, will present during the webinar, and will be joined by Dr Stoewen. The webinar will be moderated by PWG member Dr Elli Kalemtzaki.
