Perspectives Program
Political polarization is the leading social rift of our time and won't be an easy problem to solve, but there is a science-backed method that can help to bridge political divides. We've partnered with Constructive Dialogue Institute to bring you Perspectives, an online program that helps teams create the best ideas across divides to develop public finance solutions greater than the sum of their parts.
84% of employees discuss political or social issues at work
Yet 56% of managers report their organizations have not provided resources for managing political issues in the workplace. Perspectives is an online learning experience that equips participants with science-backed skills to communicate more effectively across differences. Research has demonstrated that Perspectives is effective for improving communication and thinking skills.
