Diversity and inclusion must be embraced throughout an entire organization in order to produce positive long-term results. Leadership efforts create a solid foundation on which the rest of the company’s efforts can stand. However, achieving and maintaining such an environment can be a challenge. Prejudice, racism, discrimination, and feelings of exclusion can increase if respect is not shown by all employees for everyone in the workplace. Even in the most diverse and inclusive organizations, there are always challenges to overcome and unwelcome behaviors to address. This presentation will discuss diversity and inclusion in the workplace, including:
- Communication methods to support diversity and inclusion
- Strategies to promote diversity and inclusion
- Common practices and programs that create equal opportunities within a diverse team
- How to comply with anti-discrimination laws
- What to do if you witness discrimination
