Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: How to Build a Thriving Workplace for Everyone

November 5

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) aren’t just buzzwords – they are essential components of a healthy, successful workplace. Embracing DEI in your organization means supporting all aspects of a person such as race, religion, gender, etc., as well as deeper parts of an individual’s character like values, personality, and preferences.

This workshop helps you identify the existing diversity in your organization so you can recognize potential gaps and become aware of ways that you can build a more equitable and inclusive work environment. You will learn tips, strategies, and gain practical tools for creating a workplace culture where everyone can thrive.
