3 <br />The Breakpoint Initiative <br /> Awareness ~ What is the Culture? <br />Too often organizations want a quick fix to building a healthy culture and minimizing <br />toxicity. This is likened to trying to cure a patient by writing a prescription without first <br />understanding the patient’s underlying health condition. However, long-term wellness <br />requires more than just a magic pill. Organizations, and societies alike, must resist the <br />impulse to seek immediate relief for the symptoms, and instead focus on the disease. <br />Otherwise, they run the risk of a recurring ailment. <br />Effective training involves many levels – the most important of which is bringing <br />awareness to the entire organization that there already is an established culture and <br />exploring the impact of that culture. While most institutions already have mottos, mission <br />statements, and codes of conduct, it does not mean they are rooted in the psyche of their <br />staff or healthy for the achievement of meaningful goals. Our goal is to discuss the culture <br />as it stands and why there is a desire for a racial equity initiative to improve upon it. <br />Our Awareness presentation will build upon the following themes: <br /> <br />• Cultivating cultural competence <br /> <br />• Understanding the impact of privilege and the difference between equity, <br />equality, and justice <br /> <br />• Overview of Conscious/Unconscious bias <br /> <br />• Racial and Financial Equity (Defining terms and Pinpointing Problems) <br /> <br />• Financial Equity in Practice (Onboarding, <br />Recruiting, and Retention) <br /> <br />• Microaggressions (Overview) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 52B91A25-DC03-4705-8B97-2952625DBF63
