Workplace challenges rarely exist in isolation — they are part of a larger web of systems, processes, and relationships. This session introduces a modern workplace framework inspired by symbolic teachings about webs in Indigenous traditions, which speak to connection, interdependence, and the meaning carried in each thread.
Participants will explore four types of threads through HR scenarios: Radial threads highlight how equity-focused purpose and direction are set; Spiral threads reveal how patterns of practice evolve and either reinforce or disrupt inclusion; Sticky threads surface systemic bias and barriers; and Strong threads point to equitable policies, strengths, and opportunities for change. Together, these perspectives offer a practical way to reweave workplace systems toward greater fairness and inclusion. 
Presenter: Georganne Oldham - Senior Faculty Member, Centre for Leadership, Justice Institute of British Columbia (Click for Georganne's Bio) | By the end of this session, participants will be able to:- Describe the "Four Threads of the Web" workplace framework and its inspiration. Identify barriers ("sticky threads") and opportunities ("strong threads") in organizational systems.
- Apply the framework to fictional HR scenarios in a safe, interactive setting.
- Recognize how systems can unintentionally reinforce or disrupt inclusion and equity.
- Identify at least one actionable step to strengthen equity in a workplace system.
| Who should attend:
HR professionals and leaders at all levels who want a practical, inclusive tool for understanding and influencing workplace systems. The framework is especially useful for those involved in policy development, change initiatives, or inclusion strategies. | Format: Live Online - Zoom Webinar
