CIRES D&I Community of Practice: Establishing positive group behavior
Like education and politics, workplace culture is local. CIRES doesn't have one monolithic culture; we have an assemblage of cultures that vary by sub-unit, lab and work team. What matters to people is how they are treated by the people they see day in and day out. Day to day behavior is an important aspect of an inclusive culture. Where there are issues, they impact marginalized and minoritized groups more often and to a greater extent.
