This document outlines an agenda for a workshop on diversity and inclusion. The goals of the workshop are to understand what diversity and inclusion mean, and for participants to leave with an action item to commit to over the next four weeks. The agenda includes defining diversity and inclusion, discussing case studies, explaining why diversity and inclusion are important, and issuing a call to action. Participants will break into groups to discuss inclusive case studies and how situations could have been improved from different perspectives. The workshop aims to inspire an inclusive culture where employees can bring their full selves to work.

What did you feel after watching
the video? Any questions?
Thoughts you would like to
SHARE?
11. Important Diversity & Inclusion Challenges
Unconscious bias – like likes like (favoring people
who look like you, think like you and come from
backgrounds similar to you)
Covering – the feeling that you cannot show up as your
“true self” at work

13. Inclusive Case Studies — An Interactive Discussion
• Each table will find a typed out Case Study describing a real life
scenario
• Please read this at your table and start a discussion on how
this scenario could have been improved from the perspective of
different roles involved: Manager, employee, peers, Project
Leader, etc.,
• You have 15mins for discussion
• Please write your thoughts down to share
• We will regroup and ask for each team to share their thoughts

PSG Scenario #1
Ichika is in a remote location and calls in weekly to her manager’s staff meeting at an early hour
to get updates and participate in discussions
She is located in Japan listening while trying to translate the English presentations and
discussions on the other end in her mind
Her manager, Adam, asks a question to the team, and everyone begins to respond. Ichika really
can’t understand as there are so many people talking on the other end and she isn’t able to get a
word in edge wise. She tries to respond but there are really no breaks in the discussion to allow
the phone to let her talk
Ichika gets frustrated and gives up; continues to listen for the rest of the meeting rather than
trying to speak up. Her team mates continue talking sharing their ideas
At her yearly review, she notes that her manager Adam has commented that she needs to speak
up more and participate in meetings to share her ideas
Ichika feels like she is not understood and her manager is not seeing her issues
Ichika

PSG Scenario #2
Raj is a new hire who came from a competitor with 15 years experience and excited to
contribute in a new Intel team
He has worked on similar products but has a very different perspective on how to approach
problem solving from his diverse industry experience
He has tried to give constructive inputs on how to improve the product but feels like his inputs
are not valued or tolerated. He finds that his team and manager tend to dismiss his ideas. He
particularly has difficulty with Chang who is closed to Raj’s inputs on change
The Manager, Sherly asked the project leader Alphonso to help work things out between these
2 people. Given the time crunch, stress factors, etc. the root issues were never really resolved
The project was successfully completed but unfortunately Raj decided to move to another
group within the company where he felt he would be better received

Companies in the 1st quartile for
diversity are more likely to have

industry medians:
• 15% at gender diverse companies
• 35% at ethnically diverse
companies
Companies in the bottom quartile are
statistically less likely to achieve
above-average returns. *

Speaker Notes
Here is the Agenda we will go over today.
We will spend 45 minutes on this topic, and you’ll get to fully participate including a role play team exercise. I won’t do all the talking.
At the end of this session you will have a better understanding of
What does Diversity mean?
What does Inclusion mean?
Why does it matter to us?
Why should we care about it here at Intel PSG?
And we will share some takeaways and suggestions, about what you can do for yourself and for your team!
Speaker Notes
We have three goals for this Workshop
Understand what Diversity and Inclusion means
Walkaway with one action item , that each of you will commit to do over the next 4 weeks
Towards the end of the track, each of you will write it down on the magnetic strip given to you, follow up on it, discuss it with your team and post it in your respective cubes
By understanding Diversity & Inclusion, and acting on it – each of you will be contributing to the realization of our vision
Let me show you our Vision in the next slide
Speaker Notes
As we embark upon our strategy of inclusion…we understand that this begins with all of us and all of us play an integral part in it. Whether we individual contributors, managers and leaders. Simply put, Inclusion begins with I and if you look in the middle of the word it also includes “us” ! This is about everyone being accountable to creating a inclusive environment.
We hear the term Inclusion…quite simply it is a sense of belonging, feeling respected, valued and seen for who we are as individuals.
One analogy that describes diversity vs inclusion is…diversity means being invited to the party, while inclusion means being invited to dance…feeling totally welcomed and a sense of belonging.
The vision that is stated is one where we want ALL employees to Feel they can bring their full selves to work, to contribute and thrive at PSG. By doing this we can accelerate the transformation. Initiatives can be something as small ensuring everyone in the meeting is involved, regardless of their location.
Speaker Notes
Here is an exercise for all of us – Let’s watch a video on Inclusion and reflect on it for a few minutes.
Let’s discuss about it as a class – I highly encourage you to voice your opinion and speak freely
After which, we will debrief as a group, and discuss what you saw in the video.
Speaker Notes
Now let’s proceed to watch the video
Speaker Notes
Let’s think about the video for a minute
What kind of thoughts ran through your minds while watching it
How did you feel about it- Did you see yourself anywhere is this?
What are your thoughts on this? If you get a room of silence then share your own thoughts and be authentic. Demonstrate your own vulnerability.
Do any of us feel the same way here
Anyone want to share something
<Discuss with class for 5 mins>
Speaker Notes
It’s always hard to admit you’ve got a problem – especially when it’s something you don’t know about!
There are many diversity and inclusion challenges we face, but there are two important concepts we'd like to introduce and focus on today. Unconscious bias which most of you should be familiar with and covering, which is a less commonly understood term.
Unconscious bias is, as the name suggests, a bias everyone has yet is not aware the have it. A good way to define unconscious bias is "like likes like". As humans, we have a tendency to favor people who are familiar to us in backgrounds, thinking and ethics. A relatable phrase is "being on the same wavelength". The more different people are, the more likely you will be challenged to work with the person and the less likely you will be able to harness the benefits of diversity. Everybody suffers from unconscious bias, no matter how self aware they consider themselves to be. To speak simply, unconscious bias is the term given to the way our brains make decisions automatically, without thought. We have no control over unconscious bias when we are not aware of it. In the workplace, unconscious bias has a negative effect because it leads us to make decisions without the use of logic. We may prefer a manager because they are tall or they are male, for example, rather than the most important reason – that they are the best candidate. This is an example of unconscious bias. Simply put, this leads to like liking like...when we favor someone who looks like us or someone who comes from a similar background as ourselves, this leads to a lack of diversity.
Separately, covering is a feeling that you cannot show up as your "true self" at work, as such you might take actions to deliberately hide your self. The challenge with this, we believe, is that when you are conscious of your self and constantly worrying about hiding certain parts of your self, you may not be able to bring your full potential to the table. Kenji Yoshino, an expert in the field states "Everyone covers. To cover is to downplay a disfavored trait so as to blend into the mainstream.
So what does all of this have to do with PSG?
by favoring one group over another and
By covering our "true selves" we miss out on getting the BEST of ALL of our employees
THIS SLIDE NEEDS TO BE READ VERBATIM.
Let's dive a bit more into covering with the goal of understanding what it means since the term “covering” is not a common term. I think as we go through the definitions, you’ll see that while the term “covering” may be new – the concept is quite intuitive and real ...
[this is a build slide, go through each of the 4 types of covering using the build, and when you do give a brief definition of each type and the definition below; you can also add/use your own personal examples]
Appearance-based covering
Altering you self-presentation (grooming, attire, and mannerisms), to blend-in with the mainstream folks at PSG.
Advocacy-based covering
Avoiding standing up/clarifying for the group/background/culture you come from.
Affiliation-based covering
Avoid behaviors widely associated with their identify, to negate stereotypes associated with that identity.
Association-based covering
Avoiding contact with other members of the same group/background/culture.
Okay, hopefully everyone has a good understanding of what covering means. We will review this in more depth during our exercise.
Guidelines to Facilitator
Split the class into 2 groups (Use a numbering system to group all 1s together, 2s together and so on)
Ask each group to gather around a flipchart – mark it with their group #
Group all the remote attendees into one group – they will not have a flipchart (It will be a virtual discussion)
Have all groups discuss at least 1 case study – write down their key takeaways (1 to 3)
And have each group share one takeaway with the class
Manage your time such that all these discussions and sharing are within 15 mins
Ask each attendee to also write down a single action item that they will do and add to their quarterly goal – on the magnet/post-it provided
Remaining details – ask them to capture it in the workbook and turn it in, to the facilitators
Discussion Points
Role: Manager (Adam) - What could have the manager Adam done to ensure Ichika was able to provide insights during the staff meeting? How and when could’ve Adam provided feedback to Ichika?
Role: Employee (Ichika) - What could have Ichika done the moment she was getting frustrated? How and when could she have conveyed to Adam about her issues or concerns?
Role: Team Peers – What could any one of the team members have done differently to change this dynamic or help/advocate for Ichika?
Discussion Points
Role: Manager (Sherly)- What should the manager have done to help Raj feel like he was being heard?
Role: Employee (Raj) - What could Raj have done, to seek out advice in a situation like this?
What should Raj have done to not let it get this far?
Role: Employee (Chang) – What are some options for Chang in this scenario?
Role: Project Leader (Alphonso) - What could the Project Leader have done to improve the situation?
Role: Team Peers – What could any one of the team members have done differently to change this dynamic?
Speaker Notes
Now that we are all on the same page of what Diversity and Inclusion means. Well, I think we are – does anyone have any questions about the definition of diversity and inclusion? Ok, if not – let's move and talk about why it matters, why I care, why Intel cares, and most importantly whey YOU should care. For me there's 2 simple reasons. And those two reasons are that when you have diverse team and ensure that team is supported by an inclusive environment that enables them to be their "true self" and feel a part of the team, then YOU as a manager get:
1) A more engaged team
2) A higher performing team.
And why does this matter? Two things.
1) Engagement to me means that your team is always creating, innovating, and thinking. I have found that some of the best decisions and ideas your teams will make will happen when they "aren't trying" - for example, when they are in the car, taking a walk, in the shower ,etc. And the only way you are going to get their mindshare at what I call these " opportunistically creative times" is to ensure they are engaged.
2) Research shows that high performing teams exist when the team has the following characteristics …
Solid and deep trust in each other and in the team’s purpose — they feel free to express feelings and ideas.
Team members are clear on how to work together and how to accomplish tasks.
Team members actively diffuse tension and friction in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
The team engages in extensive discussion, and everyone gets a chance to contribute — even the introverts.
Leadership of the team shifts from time to time, as appropriate, to drive results. No individual members are more important than the team.
… and believe me the only way people are going to feel trust, clarity on who is doing what, relaxed and open discussion and ability to contribute in their own way, and the ability to assume the lead when needed … is if they feel included.
So, for me and this is back by research too (a quick google search will give you many research examples) … according to a 2015 report from McKinsey & Co:
Research finds that companies in the top quartile for gender or racial and ethnic diversity are more likely to have financial returns above their national industry medians. Specially 15% for gender diverse companies and 35% for ethically diverse companies. Companies in the bottom quartile in these dimensions are statistically less likely to achieve above-average returns.
The best way for YOU to get most out of your team is to CREATE diversity and ENSURE inclusion in your teams.
Here are some numbers to put this effort into perspective, and *statistically speaking*, efforts to improve diversity pay off
But let’s not focus on these particular numbers. They’re not actually important! If we focus on the numbers (because our identity is that of “a data driven company”) we might:
…argue about 15% or the 30% statistics because the “industry average” may not itself be inclusive
…quibble on what threshold was used to declare “diverse” – was it “match the general population of the US, or of Silicon Valley?”
…start asking *profoundly pointless* questions like, “hey, does the knee of the curve happen if we’re only 85% diverse? 70%? 60%?”
The point is: we do this not because we believe in these exact numbers. We do this because we believe in the underlying relationship between DNI, an engaged team, high-performance, and a better company. This is an active and positive VALUE CHOICE we have made, as a company, as a BU, as a team.
Speaker Notes
Where are we at, as PSG?
We may have some folks in each of these buckets shown above
Remember the case studies? Are you able to picture the employees who left in any one of the buckets above?
Was there was a breakdown of Inclusion during one of the above stages?
What is it that you, me and each one of us can do to ensure that all of us are in the last bucket: ‘Feeling Included’
Examples of Inclusion
For instance, suggesting that employees rotate as meeting leaders might help an untested employee showcase her value to others. Handing some management responsibilities for a new project to a more introverted worker might help build his confidence and give him facetime with others. “Anything a manager can do to create a positive message that every person is valued and has equal access in that group is a good thing,”
HERE IS YOUR CALL TO ACTION!
Speaker Notes
Inclusion requires conscious effort from everyone to involve the entire team with transparent communication resulting in high performance achievement.
As with any course, the benefits are reaped after the class is over and is directly related to the steps you decide to take. Reinforcement (or repetition) is how we change behavior.
These are……(summarize quickly)
Fostering inclusion is an ongoing process. “Being inclusive is not a ‘check the box’ activity. “It’s a way of being, and you never stop working at it.” Changing practices to incorporate inclusive policies and behaviors can be difficult, but creating an environment where everyone feels they can speak up will only result in better business outcomes.
Ask each attendee to also write down a single action item that they will do and add to their quarterly goal – on the magnet/post-it provided. Please have them take the post-it and place in their office in a very visible location. It is about having a visual reminder to prompt them.
On the slide you, see some ideas or examples for you consideration…take a few minutes and write down your one action item.
Remaining details – ask them to capture it in the workbook and turn it in, to the facilitators
CONCLUSION: TRY SOMETHING NEW. SHARE YOUR IDEAS...
THANK YOU.
Guidelines to Facilitator
Show the video – let the video run, while you collect the feedback (Case studies printouts) from the attendees
Write the date on the turned-in sheets
And ensure everybody walks away with 1 action item written on their magnetic strips/post-its
