The need for workplaces to grow a diverse team is often in direct response to a compliance directive such as Affirmative Action. Yet those organizations who embrace inclusivity realize it attracts a wider range of candidates and brings to the organization a more creative set of critical thinking skills.
In this session, presenter Glenda Caton will give updates on D&I success in 2019. She'll share proven, practical tips for growing inclusion in the workplace. Specifically, you'll speak on gender pay gaps, mental illness and other "unseen" disability," veteran employment, and the #MeTooMovement.
