Why is a DEI Culture Beneficial? A culture that encompasses diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leverages differences, life experiences, knowledge, and talents to create a successful organization. Here’s how: • Increases productivity; Research shows gender-diverse companies are 15% more likely to outperform, and ethnically diverse companies are 35% more likely to excel than uniform companies. • Promotes collaboration and innovation; Teams solve problems faster when they’re more cognitively diverse (https://buff.ly/2UpNEY0). Diverse companies are more agile in their thinking and operate with greater adaptability and flexibility in a rapidly changing marketplace. Research provides compelling evidence that diversity unlocks innovation and drives market growth (https://buff.ly/2PhnHVL). • Provides psychological safety and increased engagement; For psychological safety to exist in a team environment, inclusion must also be present (https://buff.ly/466f6L8). Employees need to feel safe to be their best selves and stay engaged at work. • Increases employee retention; Employees want to belong and feel valued. After all, the majority of our weekdays are spent at work. Attracting and retaining talent is crucial, especially at MetaStar where our revenue depends on the services our workforce provides.

⚠️ Fentanyl Awareness ⚠️ Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid used in surgery and severe pain treatment. However, most fentanyl-related harms and overdoses come from illegally made fentanyl. This has led to a dramatic rise in drug overdose deaths in the US. Let's increase awareness and education in our communities to reduce overdose deaths. 💬 Educate yourself on the use of naloxone with this elearning module: https://buff.ly/4cXhlCv 💻 #FentanylAwareness #PreventOverdoses #CommunityEducation #NaloxoneTraining

Did you know? Most racial/ethnic minority groups have similar — or sometimes fewer — mental disorders compared to whites. However, the long-term consequences of mental illness can be more severe for minorities.

🚨 Drowning is a leading cause of death for children. Together, we can change that. 🚨 It only takes a moment. A child or weak swimmer can drown in the time it takes to reply to a text, check a fishing line, or apply sunscreen. Drowning incidents happen every day in pools, hot tubs, beaches, lakes, rivers, streams, bathtubs, and even buckets.
