Maximizing the Value of Diversity and Inclusion

How do we truly & practically increase diversity and inclusion within our organization? Attendees will learn a brief history of D&I in organizations, address some D&I challenges, and gain loads of tools to authentically approach the value of diversity and inclusion of your teams.

If you’re in the world of work today, then you already realize that diversity and inclusion is a very important aspect of how you do business. And for good reason. Studies have consistently shown the power of diverse and inclusive organizations; helping them stay competitive in the marketplace, drive innovation, expand the richness of thought, extend their reach and relevance and so much more.

In this course, I want to help you understand how diversity and inclusion can drive value at your organization. I’ll share some of the often overlooked pieces of diversity and give you some actionable ways for you to apply these ideas on your team.

I’ll also share how you can collect data, build referral programs, and help expand your network so your organization can be more inclusive.

So, if you’re ready to go- let’s dive in.
