You can’t get where you need to be tomorrow, unless you know where you are today. Businesses across the U.S. and around the world have been facing a long-overdue reckoning: Many have failed miserably at treating their employees of color fairly and equitably. Corporate leadership knows it can and must do better. And if it cannot, it must make way for managers and executives eager to create workplaces where all employees feel respected, valued and empowered. Those qualities are the hallmarks of inclusive workplaces, and research has shown that when leaders foster this environment, their companies are more successful and simply, better places to work. But where do you begin? How do you know what your employees feel and what needs to change? This session will help you understand the journey towards a diverse and inclusive workplace. You will have the opportunity to complete a self-assessment to better understand where your organization stands today and what your next steps should be. Learn how data and assessments can help you to create a strategic plan to get you where you want to be – a truly inclusive workplace.

Objectives:

• Understand the maturity model of D&I and key steps in the journey

• Take a self-assessment to determine where your organization is today

• Learn how data and assessments can help you to build a strategy on how to achieve your D&I goals
