National Inclusion Week® webinar 3 – Bridging the workplace divide

Free webinar – Explore how to build trust, navigate difference and create more constructive conversations in today’s changing workplace.

Workplaces are shaped by different perspectives, competing expectations and constant change. From generational differences and hybrid working to social media and political discourse, many organisations are finding that workplace conversations have become more complex.

Join Inclusive Employers to explore how colleagues and leaders can bridge divides before they impact trust, collaboration and inclusion. Together, we’ll consider what’s driving these tensions and how organisations can create environments where people feel able to contribute, challenge ideas and work together respectfully.

We’ll explore how different experiences, communication styles and expectations influence workplace relationships, and share practical ways to keep dialogue open, reduce polarisation and strengthen connection across teams.

Date: Wednesday 16 September 2026

Time: 2:00pm–3:00pm

Format: Free webinar

Many organisations are navigating increasingly diverse opinions, changing expectations and new ways of working. While these differences can strengthen innovation and decision-making, they can also create misunderstanding, tension and division if they’re not managed well.

Building trust doesn’t mean everyone has to agree. It means creating a culture where people feel heard, respected and able to have constructive conversations across difference.

This session explores how organisations can build confidence in navigating challenging conversations, strengthen relationships and create workplaces where inclusion continues to thrive during times of change.
