Summary
Diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives aren't just a buzzword or a box to check off to remain compliant. It's time to shift the narrative from "compliance and regulatory requirements" to "work should be fair and equitable for everyone." Employees don't leave jobs when they feel heard, understood, and supported. The US is amid record-low unemployment, and ensuring that everyone has a voice and a valuable contribution to their work, regardless of their ethnicity, cultural background, or sexual preference is the difference between being seen as forward-thinking or going the way of Blockbuster or Kodak.
Your organization likely already has the tools to implement meaningful change, including modifying existing policies to foster a culture of inclusivity and acceptance.
In this webinar you’ll learn:
- How to create a DE&I program that includes language training that decreases bias in your organization
- How small teams with limited budgets can create a DE&I program that their workforce finds meaningful
- How to create a DE&I program that goes beyond just making a policy or more paperwork for your HR team
This webinar is perfect for HR leaders, C-Suite executives, and people managers committed to creating a culturally diverse workforce to retain and engage employees and create a meaningful work environment.
