SUMMARY:Nominations Open: 2023 Business of Pride Awards
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual Business of Pride awards will recognize outstanding LGBTQ business leaders\, allies or advocates in Hawaii  who are making a difference in advancing equality and inclusion in the business world\, as well as being active members in the community. \nTo ensure your nomination is as competitive as possible\,\nplease review the following tips: \n1. Ensure that all areas of the nomination are filled out\, and each question is answered.  The judges can only work off of information provided in the nomination packet and/or letters of support- so if something isn’t listed\, it can’t be considered. \n2. For ease\, feel free to use bullet points\, numbers\, etc. instead of full paragraphs. \n3. The best and most successful nominations include facts and figures\, not opinions.  For example\, let us know how a person or company increased revenue that year and provide numbers\, vs. letting us know that they are “great to work with”. \n4. Letters of support are certainly not required\, but can be very helpful to our panel of judges. \n5. Make sure the nomination is submitted on time. \nPlease contact Rose Balagtas\, Director of Events\, at rbalagtas@bizjournals.com or (808)955-8072 with any questions.

SUMMARY:Belong: Creating a Supportive Culture
DESCRIPTION:As the work world tries to return to normalcy after two years of COVID-19 uncertainty\, leaders are looking for ways to re-engage their employees and rebuild the emotional ties that teamwork is built upon. Employees\, meanwhile\, are re-evaluating their relationship to work itself\, seeking a more human experience. \nResearch has shown that a company’s culture can have an outsized effect on everything from innovation and profitability to hiring and worker retention. When team members trust each other\, feel emotionally connected to a group\, and share a common purpose\, they collaborate wholeheartedly\, unlocking the group’s full potential. \nAs more companies move towards a distributed workforce model with employees both in-office and remote\, now is the time to build a supportive company culture that gives employees a sense of belonging and connects with them on a deeper level. \nJoin us as we kick off this special UHA Work Well Summit with a panel discussion featuring these local business leaders. \n\nTrini Kaopuiki Clark – President and CEO\, Make-A-Wish® Hawaii\nDel Mochizuki – Director of Finance and Human Resources\, UHA Health Insurance\nRebecca Sandvig – Organizational Effectiveness Coordinator\, Hawaii Pacific Health\n\nFor more information\, click here.
