From Kimberly Watson, Equal Employment Opportunity Strategy and Integration chief: Addressing proximity bias EEO+PULSE+Check+-+Mitigating+Proximity+Bias.pdf demands intentional efforts to connect with remote workers individually. One effective approach is to schedule regular one-on-one meetings with all team members, especially those working remotely. These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss their progress, challenges, and career goals, helping to establish a stronger connection between team members and leaders. By doing so, you can offer mentorship, guidance, and support, regardless of physical location. This approach helps to create a more cohesive and equitable work environment, where all team members feel valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their best work. Reflect on this quote by William James, American Philosopher Psychologist "The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated."
Leaning in Virtual Experience (LIVE) The LIVE program is a modernized learning tool that consists of a mixed virtual reality experience combining interactive scenarios with authentic real-time dialogue to engage in difficult conversations. LIVE introduces and provides an opportunity for participants to experience how their perceptions impact decision-making, increase their cultural competence when relating to others, and increase confidence in having courageous conversations. Ensuring we have high performing teams that can expertly manage uncomfortable conversations around differences will help us stay lethal, innovative, and enhance our execution of the Great Power Competition. LIVE sessions last one hour and should be held in person, with approximately 20 attendees. For more information on LIVE or to schedule a session, please reach out to the Lead LIVE Facilitators: Cathy Guerrant (cathy.guerrant@us.af.mil) or Gary Sapp (gary.sapp.1@us.af.mil).
