Building Awareness of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
You’ve heard these terms, but what do diversity, equity, and inclusion mean for you and your agency? During this session, we will explore these key terms and discuss how they relate to your marketplace, workforce, and workplace.
The Business Case for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Just like with any business practice, identifying the WHY behind diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) must be clearly known. During this session we will explore key data emphasizing the business case and further connect the dots on how to drive DEI in business decisions related to your marketplace, workforce and workplace.
Understanding Blindspots and Microaggressions
We all have blindspots or “biases” that can negatively impact our journey in building a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture across our agencies. During this session we will explore the science behind biases and learn how to combat them, when necessary, along with other discounting behaviors.
The Inclusive Agency: Developing an Inclusive Workplace
Let’s GO! During this session we will assess where we stand individually and where our agency team stands collectively in modeling an inclusive culture. We will then explore various ways we can move the needle forward as we strategically determine DEI initiatives we can implement in our agencies.
