“Building a new work paradigm the right way”
Many organizations have recognized how important diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are to their workforce, but recent events have made it clear that there are still many difficult conversations ahead of us. Because of COVID-19, a lot of HR effort has shifted to enabling remote work, health and safety, and staying on top of legislative changes due to the pandemic. But DE&I initiatives are needed now more than ever.
Join us for a virtual event that will explore how DE&I is crucial to organizational survival. You’ll learn:
- Where DE&I fits into addressing a global pandemic
- Strategies for DE&I in the virtual workplace, and
- How to have difficult conversations with effective outcomes
