Workplace Application:
Examine initiatives your organization can undertake to embrace notions of DEI and to make your employer a destination and employer of choice. 

The fight for high-caliber talent has never been greater, and the competition for their services has never been higher. Increasingly, the success of our organizations has become dependent on retaining our stars and continually recruiting new people who will help our organizations reach the next level. Notwithstanding this reality, too many employers still are ignoring concepts like inclusion and equity and believe that status quo - or worse, reversion to past days - will drive results. Bottom line? This is not the case. We will examine critical (and achievable) ways your organization can embrace DEI and can become not just an employer of choice but a true destination for the finest industry talent.

Learning Objectives:

  • Examine how conducting pay equity audits can enhance retention and recruitment efforts.
  • Evaluate the ways in which  embracing mental health awareness and empathy in performance management can massively impact the employee experience.
  • Discover, through the use of videos from popular movies and television program, methods your organization can implement to create a diverse, inclusive, equitable, productive and profitable workplace.
