Activating Micro-Sponsorship to Tackle Workplace Inequities

In today’s workplace, fostering an inclusive environment that champions diversity and addresses inequities is crucial yet increasingly difficult. Micro-sponsorship offers a solution by encouraging employees at all levels to engage in small acts of sponsorship, unlike traditional mentorship, which is often reserved for senior leaders advocating for junior staff. This approach provides real-time support to block micro-inequities, promoting a more equitable environment for underrepresented and marginalized employees.

Hosted by Jodi Petersen, Vice President of Customer Experience, this session will explore how micro-sponsorship can dismantle subtle biases based on race, gender, sexual orientation and more. Participants will learn to identify potential allies, implement practical strategies for micro-sponsorship, and hear about successful case studies. Key takeaways include actionable strategies, methods to overcome challenges and insights on fostering a culture of real-time advocacy.
