Faith and spiritual wellness at work is equally as important as mental, physical, and emotional health to have a truly inclusive workplace. The goal is to consider faith, religion, and spiritual wellness as a part of your workplace DEI strategy to foster a sense of belonging and increase connectivity through shared beliefs at work. 62% of people around the world define themselves by their faith or religion according to the Harvard Business Review, yet are we truly allowed to bring our whole selves to work through faith and spiritual wellness? As an emerging global voice, Melissa advocates for a new generation of millennial women leaders in the workplace, community, and civic leadership. She is a multi- hyphenate leader who specializes in diversity, equity, inclusion, leadership development, and cultivating corporate and community partnerships to create change.
