The Multiplier Effect of Inclusion

A diversity and inclusion program can increase engagement, creativity and business performance if properly managed. By also learning to leverage diversity and inclusion through best practices, organizations can turn D&I into a powerful business advantage that stimulates innovation and drives marketplace growth. You will learn how to create a multiplier effect of inclusion to increase utilization of talent and resources—more than doubling the capacity of a team to positively impact products and services, build brand image, and increase profits and performance. In this session, you will learn:

  • The eight steps that create a culture of inclusion.
  • The three most important inclusive behaviors to promote at your organization.
  • How to make the business case for doing D&I well.
  • How companies have leveraged employee diversity to create new products, engage new customers and grow revenue.
  • 10 themes for building senior leadership support for D&I programs.
