In this facilitated workshop on foundational Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), you will have an opportunity to align on common definitions of key DEI terms and uncover specific dimensions of diversity that undergird the complexities of such topics.
The question, “why DEI matters”, will be a central theme of this session by addressing the business and socio-cultural impact of inequitable processes/structures/policies while also recommending small, concrete steps necessary to combat bias and leverage diversity to stay competitive and create a sense belonging for your team.
Why start with 'Why DEI matters'?
