The topic of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) has been an area of focus for several years.  However, in many organizations, little progress has been made in terms of truly leveraging the value of D&I to create true inclusive environments.  In general, organization encounter specific challenges that may limit opportunities to move the needle regarding D&I in the workplace.   This presentation has been requested by a number of SHRM chapters and members.

Learning Objectives:

• Define D&I: Develop a common language.  Ensure that there is clarity around the definition of the terms diversity and inclusion for the organization and those that have responsibility to the organization. 
• Explore the dimension of diversity: Create an awareness that there are several dimensions of diversity that have an impact on the way that we, as humans, interact with each other - which ultimately has an impact our work relationships.
• Demographic outlook: Organizations are not immune to the impacts of D&I in the workplace.  Participants will explore the intersection of D&I and specific demographics. 
• Tips for success: Participants will be provided with reinforcement tips to ensure practical and consistent application of concepts shared throughout the training.
