No Time for Neutral: Why Diversity and Inclusion is Good for Business

Webinar | May 8 | 2 p.m. ET

Track | Professional Development: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Systemic inequities are not just an artifact of history; they continue and their impact on minoritized communities is as pervasive as it is vast. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work has been around for decades. However, many businesses have used the “check the box” approach to DEI or have ignored it altogether. To prepare for a more diverse future, businesses would do well to foster inclusivity and diversity in their leadership and employees. Inclusivity requires us to identify unconscious bias and become more mindful of our systems to create true belongingness which is good for business.
