Held at the Palace Hotel, the event successfully fostered a sense of belonging and shared purpose among attendees. The event kicked off with Asana’s General Counsel and Blacsana’s Executive Sponsor, Eleanor Lacey welcoming our guests. Eleanor focused on the importance of networking and how it’s seen positively by others as a means to expand one’s community and create genuine connections. Additionally, Eleanor noted the key to networking is to build connections based on shared interests and/or goals. Genuine connections can lead to unexpected opportunities to help one another in the future.   The atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy as executives from various industries gathered to network and gain valuable insights. The breakfast was facilitated by Joanna Miller. Joanna is an exec coach, facilitator and experience designer who leads sessions around the globe and has been featured in WSJ and HBR. She led a 30-minute session featuring three purpose-driven prompts. Each prompt aligned to a core theme of Blacsana’s mission to create a safe community for all Black employees at Asana that supports their development, celebrates their successes, and leverages their knowledge in support of Asana’s mission. The prompts emphasized self-recognition and achievements, community inclusion, personal growth, and wisdom. After each prompt, participants shared their responses. Each question was designed to promote positive reflections and highlight the importance of community and growth.  The breakfast saw a diverse group of leaders and innovators who were eager to connect with peers and set goals for the day prior to the start of the Work Innovation Summit. Before transitioning into the main event, Joanna asked the group to think about our goals for the remainder of the day. As the event wrapped, we were motivated to exchange information with an attendee we would like to learn more about.   Blacsana’s intention was to host an event connected to our Work Innovation Summit in San Francisco. We wanted to create a space prior to joining the summit to network, connect and set intentions of how to maximize their time on-site. By fostering these interactions, we hoped to build a stronger, more collaborative community even before the main event began.   We thank everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a success. Together, we are shaping the future of work management with Asana being the leading enterprise work management platform and knowing that Asana is where work connects, driving productivity, and collaboration to new heights.   Learn more about [Employee Resource Groups](https://asana.com/diversity-and-inclusion) at Asana. #### Asana は採用中です！ Asana の採用情報をご覧ください。現在ご希望に合う職種が見つからない場合でも、Asana の人材ネットワークにご登録いただくことで、最新の採用情報や Asana での働き方についての最新情報を受け取れます。 - [今すぐ申し込む](https://grnh.se/44a30d851us) - [今すぐ申し込む](https://grnh.se/44a30d851us)_About the Author:_ _As an Administrative Business Partner, Charisse Holman collaborates with leadership to help achieve team goals, ultimately supporting our company’s mission: help humanity thrive by enabling the world’s teams to work together effortlessly._ _As Co-lead of Blacsana, Asana’s Black Employee Resource Group, Charisse designs and implements programming that serves Blacsana’s mission: to create a safe community for all Black employees at Asana that supports their development, celebrates their successes, and leverages their knowledge in support of Asana's mission._ - [分散ワークの世界における Asana を使ったチームの再結成と成長](/ja/inside-asana/reuniting-teams) Asana チーム #### 人材獲得 明確な対抗策がない中でグローバルパンデミックの対応に追われて 1 年が過ぎ、メンバーたちと顔を合わせながらのコラボレーションやチームの集会 (そしてハグ！) を再開できる兆しがやっと見えてきました。 当社も含め、多くの企業は、オフィス勤務を再開してチームを再結成する方法について検討しています。 新型コロナウイルスにより、未来の働き方は思っていたより早く訪れ ... - [キャリアにおける決定的瞬間を振り返る: Asana のリーダーとの Q&A](/ja/inside-asana/career-defining-moments) Asana チーム Asana では、従業員の個人としての成長、そして仕事での成長を積極的にサポートしています。 Asana は、成長を可能にするフレームワーク、福利厚生、文化を提供することが、キャリアの成長をサポートする最善の方法だと考えています。 そして、成長までの道のりは従業員に任せられます。成長は直線的に起こるものではありませんが、だからといって軽視はできません。 「 ... - [Asana のダイバーシティ、インクルージョン、公正への取り組み](/ja/inside-asana/diversity-inclusion-equity) Asana チーム #### コンテンツライター ダイバーシティとインクルージョン (多様性と包摂性) は、Asana が製品を作り、社会の中で活動していくうえで不可欠な要素です。私たちの世界に蔓延する人種差別と不公正を見せつけるような出来事が、世界や身近な地域で頻発する中で、Asana は企業として、ダイバーシティとインクルージョンを会社組織と文化の中心的理念とするという誓いを新たにし、その決意を再確認 ... - [リモートで働きながらインクルーシブなコミュニティを築き続ける方法リモートで働きながらインクルーシブなコミュニティを築き続ける方法](/ja/inside-asana/building-inclusive-remote-culture) Asana チーム #### コンテンツライター リモートワークへ移行し、物理的な距離をとることが必要となったここ数か月、Asana を含む多くの組織は、各地に分散しながら、チームとしてつながり、コミュニケーションをとる方法について再考を迫られています。こうした変化の対象には、インクルーシブなコミュニティを築くことも含まれます。世界的なパンデミックの中で暮らしながら、完全リモートで働くという新しいスタイル ... - [Building Connections: Networking and Learning at the Work Innovation Summit Breakfast with Blacsana](/ja/inside-asana/blacsana-building-connections) Asana チーム - [コンテンツライター](/author/team-asana) Last week, Blacsana, Asana’s Black Employee Resource Group (ERG) hosted an inspiring executive breakfast, bringing together an impressive group of current and potential customers ... - [Asana チーム](/inside-asana/team-asana)
