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.

For every listen and/or share of the stories on Absolut.com/us/out-and-open\, Absolut will make an additional donation to the NGLCC to expand its succession planning programming.

SUMMARY:2021 State Equality Index
DESCRIPTION:The State Equality Index (SEI) is an annual comprehensive report on statewide laws and policies that affect LGBTQ+ people and their families.

While we celebrate new federal leadership\, anti-equality state legislators across the country rolled out attacks in unprecedented numbers..There is urgent work ahead to defeat the forces of hate and discrimination and to address the fundamental injustices that have corrupted our institutions for generations.” \nTo read the 2021 report\, click here.
