Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & belonging

People are social beings—we seek connection with others. When we experience equity, inclusion, and belonging, people are enabled to participate more fully in the workplace and community. Authentic inclusion approaches look at the systemic whole and bring people of all backgrounds together to co-create solutions that make a real difference.

Psychological safety & mental health

Psychological safety plays an important factor in how we experience belonging. When people feel psychologically safe, they identify as being part of a group, from the classroom to workplaces and out in community. They are encouraged to be creative and put forth ideas. They trust their team and feel safe asking questions. The mutual respect within the team enables knowledge sharing, learning, growth, and achieving outcomes together. It also creates an environment that supports mental health.

Sustainable workplaces, communities & ecosystems​

Today’s complex challenges require transdisciplinary approaches that bring stakeholders together from different disciplines and organizations to work across boundaries. Sustainable development considers how the built environment and natural environment coexist to support businesses, communities, and the biosphere, today and for future generations.

Knowledge sharing & communication

When people of all backgrounds are invited and valued as knowledge contributors, more can be made possible because knowledge is no longer restricted by hierarchies. Knowledge sharing and communication help guide actions by turning information into next steps.
