Two Book Clubs To Join!
"How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race: Practical Tools for Necessary Change in the Workplace and Beyond"
Book Club Facilitator: Nalani Aki (ext. 4832; naki@lasvegasnevada.gov)
Kwame Christian, negotiation expert and city of Las Vegas Values Conference speaker, helps us navigate tough conversations about race. We often avoid these conversations out of fear or discomfort, not wanting to damage important relationships, or have a feeling of being misunderstood.
The club will discuss how to:
- overcome your own internal barriers about diversity, equity and inclusion;
- be strategic about the outcome you want and guide the conversation;
- avoid common mistakes;
- tackle some of the most common race-related conversations that come up in the workplace.
Take this first step toward lasting social change with us. Contact the facilitator to join; pick up your book by Wednesday, Nov. 23, in the Organizational Development and Training Office at City Hall -- first floor as you come in the employee entrance. The club members will decide on meeting times/locations and whether virtual or in person.
"The Trust Edge"
Book Club Facilitator: Braydon Heier (ext. 2025, bheier@LasVegasNevada.gov)
David Horsager, an accomplished business strategist, entrepreneur, professor, and author, teaches us how top leaders gain faster results, deeper relationships, and a stronger bottom line. The club will discuss how to build the eight pillars of trust: clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution and consistency. Learn how to foster better relationships, reputation, retention, revenue, and results with the group.

COVID Cases Almost Zero!
For the week ending Nov. 14, 2022, we have just one new confirmed COVID-19 case reported in the employee population. This is our lowest weekly case count since March of this year, and this is our 14th consecutive week with less than 10 positive cases. This compares to eight new cases last week. This time, only one department had an employee test positive over those last seven days. Since the pandemic started, the total number of positive cases reported among the city workforce has increased to 1,579.
With the presence of COVID-19 cases in our workplaces, we want to make sure everyone knows when to get tested and what to do if you test positive. It remains vital that if you are sick or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, you stay home and consult your health care provider. Should you test positive for the coronavirus, please notify your supervisor right away. If you have any questions, please contact Human Resources.
In addition, updated COVID-19 vaccines boosters are now available at Southern Nevada Health District clinic locations. At this time, if someone is seeking a booster dose, the individual should visit the clinic as a walk-in rather than making an appointment. Also, as we are about to enter the fall/winter holiday seasons, a reminder that the CDC still recommends wearing masks and increasing space and distance as needed.
