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.

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.

SUMMARY:Belong: Where Every Employee Matters
DESCRIPTION:UHA Health Insurance\, Hawaii Business Magazine and the Hawaii Employers Council present this webinar on cultivating safe work relationships and encouraging inclusion\, connection\, and equity. With Francis Choe\, External Affairs Director at Hawaii Employers Council\, and Ikaika Regidor\, Senior Programs Director of YMCA of Honolulu\, Nu‘uanu Branch\, will be sharing their personal stories of inclusion\, trust and belonging\, told from an employee point of view. \nAttracting and retaining top talent is critical to the long-term success of any organization.

We’ll hear from both leaders as they responded to their employees’ struggles\, gained their trust and worked to provide a safe\, inclusive environment that embraced diversity and equity. \nThe free webinar will be moderated by Michael Story\, Senior Workplace Wellness Advisor at UHA Health Insurance.

SUMMARY:NQAPIA Family Is Still Family
DESCRIPTION:May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and it’s a great time to revisit the beautiful “Family Is Still Family” multilingual videos produced by the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA). \nAccording to NQAPIA: “In the Asian\, South Asian\, Southeast Asian\, and Pacific Islander (API) community\, coming out to family can be difficult. Lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, or queer (LGBTQ) children feel being open about sexual orientation will shame or dishonor their family\, but staying in the closet takes a greater toll\, causing isolation\, depression\, and even suicide. \n“NQAPIA’s ‘Family is Still Family’ is an international\, multifaceted campaign to promote the acceptance of LGBTQ people in API families and to diversify the faces and languages of those who support the LGBTQ community. The campaign offers a powerful message: offer your LGBTQ child a lifeline\, support their coming out\, and keep the family strong and unified.” \nLearn more and watch the videos here.
