We have the facts and statistics to know that embracing and harnessing Diversity and Inclusion within an organization not only promotes a broad spectrum of talent, but it creates a magnet of employee and candidate engagement. The problem is, we must first humble ourselves as employers and leaders to admit when we are either a talent assuming employer, or a talent inclusive employer. We must start in understanding our own unconscious bias as an organization and move forward to embracing the positive outcomes in being fully inclusive.
Learning Objectives:
1. Assumptions: Understand how assumptions can lead to workforce disruptions, costly complaints, conflict and talent loss.
2. Inclusive: Embrace the differences in us all to strengthen our organizations, teams and communities.
3. Listen & Share: Discover how you can achieve better understanding through listening and sharing stories.
