Diversity

The killing of George Floyd, according to Byna Elliott, turned our perceptions of DEI work from a distant aspiration, into something that organizations will be, and should be, held accountable for both by employees and customers.  

We live in politically charged times, with a misperception emerging that diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are part of a political agenda. But DEI is politically agnostic. Why? Because the focus is on basic life principles, like how we understand and treat people who may be different from ourselves.

The journey of advancing diversity, equity and inclusion is not easy. But some of the world’s most successful companies are making concrete commitments to DEI, adeptly working with employees to navigate a journey toward allyship and advocacy with successful results.

Building a supportive culture is key to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment. While everyone is harmed when exposed to a negative workplace, people from underrepresented or marginalized groups are particularly at risk.

Absenteeism costs businesses billions each year. This article explores absenteeism as a symptom and microaggressions and discriminatory behavior as a cause. The solution: a focus on DEI with understanding, empathy, and inclusivity.

If your company already provides harassment prevention as a matter of compliance or policy, adding in DEI training can offer additional benefits to organizations, like mitigating legal risks, attracting and retaining employees, and improving workplace culture.

Learn about the implications that come along with remote, in-person and hybrid workplace settings, and how each of these work models has both benefits and drawbacks related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Hiring a diverse workforce isn’t enough to reap the benefits of DEI programs. The real work is in building workplace cultures of inclusion and equity.

Learn about the real costs of unconscious bias in the workplace and how high-quality, nuanced training based on real-life scenarios can help.

No matter your starting point, this webinar will outline innovative ideas and offer creative solutions to help you shape the best DEI plan for your organization.
