Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Workplace
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are hot topics in today’s workplace – but what does it really mean?
More than ever a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment is the goal. It is a place where everyone works toward a common objective with the benefit of several differing, yet respectful points of view. How do you build a culture of respect for others—old, young, black, brown, LGBTQIA+, and more, when the world seems more divisive than ever? With training and education on U.S. employment laws and an open conversation about some of the harmful perceptions, barriers, and associations in your business – many of these things can be addressed and eliminated. The result? By starting this conversation, we believe that you will see increased productivity and an overall happier workplace. Join this session and let’s work on improving all of our workplaces!
