In this program, we will evaluate diversity, multiculturalism, generational assemblage, and other forms of employee inclusion. We will consider the different forms of diversity and inclusion, the various meanings of diversity and inclusion, how to begin the conversation, how to maintain an inclusive workforce, how to raise the “return on investment” topic in an unfriendly atmosphere, and best practices for ongoing success.

Why Should You Attend
Diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusion are not just compliance buzzwords; they are essential tools of success. By incorporating diversity and inclusion into day-to-day operations, management, and vision, an organization will realize employee engagement, expansion of ideas, and an improved return on investment. Likewise, failure to establish diversity and inclusion will lead to problems with recruiting, reduced employee engagement, diminished success, and greater legal risks. We are past the “kumbaya” notion of inclusion; this program will evaluate the specific risks and rewards associated with diversity, and offer a toolset for creating and maintaining an atmosphere of productive inclusion.
