Sessions

Join ReadySet, a leading diversity, equity and inclusion firm, in a comprehensive workshop to level up your DEI leadership skills. We'll cover human-centric approaches to:

· DEI-centered sourcing: We know diversity is essential to our workplaces but it's not always easy to know how to recruit with DEI in mind. With a background in HR and executive recruiting, Dennis Quartermane will facilitate a workshop on the practical challenges and solutions that attend the transition from diversity sourcing to DEI-centering. Joined by Stevon Cook, former school trustee and entrepreneur, the session will introduce concepts such as inclusive hiring and equitable talent acquisition practices. Attendees can expect group discussion and practical takeaways which meet the goal of learning how to break out of the narrow and explore the boundless application of DEI in the workplace.

· Inclusive feedback: Research has shown that the vast majority of employees want more feedback at work. However, we know from neuroscience that feedback can set off fight or flight responses and that it's notoriously difficult for managers to give. Facilitated by Dr. Lily Jampol, who has written extensively on communication biases and feedback, participants will walk away with a new understanding of your own approach to feedback and ways to become a better feedback giver and receiver - essential skills as a manager and leader.

· HR-specific allyship practice: HR leaders often balance multiple perspectives in the DEI conversation. How can we address these tensions and work within challenging gray areas of what falls under compliance and what is HR-appropriate allyship practice? With 20 years of strategy and facilitation experience, Meghna Majmudar will lead this interactive conversation. Participants will walk away with new frameworks that they can put into action immediately.
