Table tents, like the emails, are a good way to reach a large number of employees. You can reuse the email ideas—for example, including the Web address of the online content on the table tent or listing the organization’s core values on the table tent. Here is another idea to use on the table tents to follow up on diversity and inclusion training. Conversation Starters The table tents are a good way to get employees talking about diversity and inclusion issues. Try putting some of these suggestions on the table tents and leaving them in public areas. Try coming up with your own conversation starters to include on the table tents. “Invite someone different to sit at this table.” “Invite a new lunch guest to break bread. Or naan. Or pita. Or challah. Or foccacia. Or rusks.” “It all shapes to put together the puzzle.” “Ask someone about their flexible work schedule. Maybe you can find a different schedule that works for your early-morning lifestyle.” “Ask someone their interests. You might learn something new—or find someone who can help you with your next project.” “Everyone has a different perspective. Maybe you should ask someone about theirs.” “Variety is the of life!” “Everyone has something to bring to the table. Why don’t you make it a potluck?” “Does your life need some flexibility with work? Talk to your supervisor about the programs that can help you. We want you at your best!” “In some cultures, sustaining eye contact is a measure of honesty. In others, sustaining eye contact is disrespectful and hostile. What does this social cue mean to you? What does it mean to the people sharing this “Maybe you should get involved with an employee mentoring program.” “Make sure diversity and inclusion are a part of your agency’s culture and values.”
