Building a Competitive Advantage

The culture wars in American society have politicized and polarized the role of DEI in organizations. Yet diverse, inclusive organizations prove to be strong, resilient companies that attract and retain desired workers. DEI professionals need to navigate the public perception of “woke” culture while providing a culture of inclusion for their workforce. Executive management is beginning to understand the power of DEI to create a strong organization, and the competitive edge it can provide their company over others. Meanwhile, DEI professionals face the ongoing work of creating a deep-rooted company culture of belonging and inclusion, potential budget cuts in our uncertain economic environment, and calls for reaction to world events.

Topics We Will Cover:

  • Inclusion & Belonging: How to Build and Empower a Diverse Workforce
  • Multigenerational Workforces & Work-life Balance: Providing Support to the Invisible Needs of Your Workforce
  • The View from the C-Suite: DEI is a Business Imperative
  • Creating A Safe Space for All: Culture, Bias and Strategies To Get It Right
  • Effectively Leveraging DEI as a Competitive Edge
  • Managing DEI Fatigue
  • Communication Strategies for Successful DEI
  • Mental Health: Moving into DEI’s Purview
  • Building Benefit Packages to Attract and Support Diverse Workforces

Who Should Attend: CDOs and C-Level executives Vice Presidents and Directors of: Diversity & Inclusion, Talent Management, Human Resources; Professionals with responsibility for: Diversity & Inclusion, Organization Culture, Leadership Development, Employee Engagement, Learning, Succession Planning, Learning and Development, Employee Relations, Talent Acquisition, Global Business, Ethics, and Integrity, Total Rewards.
