Workplace & Immigrant Network Hosts Mattering Mindset Workplace Belonging Session

Programming example

Recap from today's hashtag#MatteringMindset session at the Workplace & Immigrant Network — a morning filled with honest reflection, courageous conversations, and practical tools for building workplaces where everyone belongs. A heartfelt thank you to the team at Four Simple Words, Curt Hammond and Lakhdeep Singh D. for sharing their expertise and passion around the concept of mattering. The session challenged us to look inward — at our hiring practices, our onboarding systems, and how we recognize the unique gifts each team member brings. Some powerful reminders that stayed with us:-Employees who find passion and meaning in their work are three times more likely to stay-Peer relationships drive belonging more than policies ever will-If team members can't see how someone like them advances, they won't believe they can It was inspiring to see participants engage so openly — reflecting on their own blind spots, asking hard questions, and committing to small, consistent actions that build cultures of mattering. Thank you to everyone who showed up with curiosity and vulnerability today. We look forward to continuing to connect, learn, and grow together.
