Affinity groups are effective in creating workplace cultures that foster belonging, strengthen allyship, and develop emerging leaders. Organizations can offer structural support for these communities and gain these benefits. In the face of US legal and political challenges to DEIA initiatives, how can individuals and organizations create or maintain resilient communities? Our panel, from a range of organizations, will discuss their experience and examples of leading community groups to take active roles in advocacy, advance organizational goals, and develop career opportunities, and ways to define and track metrics for success. Using scenario modeling, the audience and panel will consider how affinity groups and communities within organizations can mitigate risks, provide support, advance organizational goals, such as increasing employee satisfaction and retention, or creating accessible and inclusive products.

The Introverted Leader: Career Development and Networking Advice for the Quiet Among Us

57:04

"While extroverts tend to be more seen and heard, research shows that at least one-third of the people we know are introverts. These members of our teams are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion, and who favor working on their own over working in teams. Many amazing advancements in society, the arts, literature, and technology are thanks to introverts like self-described introverts Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, and Bill Gates. In this session, we discuss how introverts can advocate for themselves in the workplace, making their career aspirations and contributions heard and valued. We hear from self-described introverts who have tips for others on how to navigate the workplace and make the most of networking opportunities. Finally, we hear from managers who have been successful in blending personality types on their teams, making sure all team members are heard and valued."
