What is it like to work in professional contexts across difference?
In this final episode of our series, Lindsey explores how microdosing wellness can be an antidote to hostile work environments, particularly for marginalized groups. She shares personal experiences navigating racial and ethnic identities as an educator and outlines The Teaching Well's journey to becoming a pro-black and queer-safe organization.
It’s time for organizations to meet this moment, and this episode highlights the need for empathy, action, and aligning organizational practices with values to foster truly inclusive workplaces. It’s a data-driven investment to actualize your desire for workplace well-being. Tune in now ❤️
