• Pair participants across different project sites and departments for "Inclusion Toolbox Talks," using shadowing sessions to discuss career pathways and belonging.
• Create a "Reverse Shadowing" initiative where junior or underrepresented employees host leadership to share operational insights and career development barriers.
• Host a "Passport to Pathways" challenge during site stand-downs, prompting shadowers to document key skills learned from 3 different mentors across various specialties.
