Session #2 | 10:30 AM-12 PM PST | 1:30-3 PM EST

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Fostering a Place of Work where Everyone can Connect, Belong and Grow

Along with expectations of greater empathy and cultivating a more human work environment, there is increasing pressure to improve equity and inclusion within organisations. In particular, there is mounting pressure from all of HR’s stakeholders — internally and externally — to make real progress on diversifying leadership and address race, ethnicity, and inclusion with an intersectional perspective. In a time where our people are valued as our organisation’s greatest asset, using DEIB initiatives to enhance the employee experience is your recipe to come out of this era stronger.

What you will learn:

  • DE&I commitments are being made by almost all major organisations -- How can we take actionable steps forward?

  • How to build a DE&I function that extends beyond an HR-led affair, embedded into the culture and values of the organisation and their workforce?

  • How to accelerate progress on DE&I goals by establishing consequential accountability for your organisations’ leaders with KPI's in place? 

  • Discover how Diversity of thought comes as a result of successfully operationalised DE&I strategies, creating a sense of belonging and new innovations
