Talent & Human Resources Workshop: Inclusive Collaboration

Join the Grand Rapids Chamber for an interactive workshop featuring Tina Alonzo, Vice President of Belonging, Peckham, as she shares how leaders and HR professionals can move beyond good intentions to build truly inclusive collaboration.

Too often, meetings are dominated by a few voices, decisions lack clarity, and participation depends on who feels safe speaking up. This session explores how inclusive collaboration can be intentionally designed through leadership behaviors, team norms, and the HR systems that shape everyday experiences.

Through practical insight and hands-on learning, participants will identify what supports inclusive collaboration, what undermines it, and how small changes can create meaningful impact.

What You’ll Gain

• A clear understanding of what inclusive collaboration looks like in practice
• Insight into common breakdowns and the systems that contribute to them
• A hands-on activity connecting real experiences to workplace solutions
• Practical takeaways you can apply immediately to your role, team, or organization

Whether you lead teams, shape HR practices, or collaborate across functions, this session will equip you with tools to foster belonging, strengthen trust, and improve team effectiveness.
