Turn your DEIB vision into a reality.
What is DEIB?
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) is an important initiative in business today. The benefits of a diverse workforce are undeniable: Businesses with a higher than average diversity enjoy 19% higher innovation revenues, according to a Harvard Business Review study. The numbers speak for themselves.
What are the challenges with DEIB?
Often, companies think of DEIB as a statistical breakdown of the different demographics of people that make up their organization. Often, that’s the only goal.
And while it’s a great goal, simply looking at the numbers does not ensure that your diverse workforce is really working well together.
Over Coffee Games is proven to help people connect– truly connect.
What’s missing from many DEIB initiatives is a focus on improving the relationships of coworkers from diverse cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. Over Coffee breaks down those barriers.
How does it work?
Over Coffee is a simple team-building tool that can help your teams really get to know each other beyond their daily interactions. Provide each team leader with a game, and have them set aside time to play. Even if it’s a quick game over lunch, everyone will:
Improve their listening skills
Learn more about each other’s values
Develop empathy for people who are different from them
“We played Over Coffee at our last faculty meeting, and it let me get to know my colleagues in a completely different and deep way! And we had a lot of fun doing it. I can’t wait to use it for my next girl’s night.”
– Beth O., The Post Oak School
“Every year we have our development team retreat, and, this year, I was put in charge of developing team’s mission statement. I just got the game a few days before, and it immediately came in handy. It was an awesome tool to warm up for a successful and creative brainstorming session. I preselected some cards to guide our conversation towards discovering our core values.”
