Inclusive by Design: Building Culturally Safe Workplaces (That Thrive) is a networking event hosted by the Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre (SMRC). Tailored for business leaders and professionals, this event explores how workplaces can move beyond surface-level diversity to embed genuine cultural inclusion into everyday practice.
Through a dynamic panel discussion, attendees will be guided to reflect on three key questions:
Is your business culturally aware?
Are unconscious biases affecting your decision-making and workplace culture?
Is your workplace truly culturally safe for everyone?
Featuring insights from industry experts, partnering businesses, and individuals with lived experience, this session offers both strategic perspective and practical solutions.
Attendees will leave equipped with actionable insights, greater self-awareness, and a renewed commitment to fostering respectful, inclusive, and high-performing workplace cultures.
Join us for this engaging lunchtime event to challenge assumptions, gain valuable tools, and build a workplace where every voice is heard and valued.
Your ticket will include access to the expert panel discussion, networking opportunities, and a complimentary catered lunch.
