Visibility

When there is an event sponsored by the workers, dontcha think that it should be supported by its leaders? An event, whether it be big or small, that celebrates the diverse culture in the workforce should be supported by the leaders to show unity, cohesiveness and acceptance. Whether it be a luncheon for Chinese New Year, Filipino Independence Day, or Gay Pride Celebration, the leaders should be visible and celebrate the diversity--even if just to be seen for a few moments.

They should be there. It is important to us that they be there.
We just want to know that they support us, our groups, and "us" as workers.

Being at these events validates us.

Just remember, we do know who attends and who doesn't. We take a mental tally. We talk amongst ourselves and discuss.

Can this affect the workgroups and culure in the organization? --- You betcha!!

This comes back to my blog on culture, doesn't it.....
