Promising Practices for Integrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Into Your Organization is a four-part workshop series where you will gain the insights and tools to create systems change in your organization.
As mission-driven organizations, we aspire to build workplaces where individuals are valued and feel a sense of belonging.
It’s equally important that we recognize the business benefits to strengthening our DEI policies and practices too. When we expand our methods for recruiting and retaining a diverse team, we develop a healthier talent pool. When we bring together employees with different life experiences, we increase our power of creative thinking and problem solving. Collegial collaboration is more effective when people feel respected, trusted, and appreciated.
During this series, we will ask ourselves the hard questions about ways our organizations may or may not carry our values about diversity, equity and inclusion into practice. We will brainstorm together how to overcome the challenges we face as change makers as we work to help our organizations become truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces.
Who Should Attend
Promising Practices is open to staff at all levels who are change agents in their organizations or who aspire to roles where they can work on organizational transformation. While this offering is not limited to positional leaders, it will be especially helpful for those who are managers or supervisors.
