Putting diversity and inclusion front and center
The call for an inclusive working environment that promotes equality is growing ever louder, and 2021 is the right time to make this a business priority. The topic of diversity is a broad one, covering - but not limited to - gender, age, race, religion, accessibility, and sexual orientation, so it can be difficult to know where to begin.
Running with the theme of this International Women's Day, #ChooseToChallenge, we bring together four influential women to discuss the role of the enterprise in advancing diversity and inclusion, and the novel ways they are using technology, to accelerate change and shift the dial on equality in the workplace to improve employee experience.
Who is the webinar for?
Promoting and supporting diversity in the workplace is an initiative that the entire organization should be involved in. Although it is largely a C-Suite concern that their taskforce is as inclusive as possible, HR and internal comms teams will be the ones pioneering the change. This webinar is for these teams supporting the senior management, and effectively implementing a strategy that will create a real sea change in delivering diversity and inclusion within the business.
What this webinar covers:
- Why is promoting diversity and inclusion an enterprise priority and what can a focused D&I strategy deliver for your business?
- What opportunities does technology present to accelerate positive change and create more inclusive workplaces?
- What are some of the hallmarks of an effective D&I strategy?
- What do your employees expect from your D&I strategy in 2021+?
- How can workplace technology support D&I aims, and is your digital workplace the key to unlocking inclusivity at work?
