2023 DEI Virtual Learning Series: Equity & Transparency at Work
Friday, April 28, 2023 (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) (EDT)
Description
Equity & Transparency at Work
Join us for a workshop on equity and transparency in the workplace, designed to help organizations create and maintain a culture of transparency and fairness within their talent management processes. Attendees will explore ways to ensure that their recruitment, hiring, and retention processes do not create barriers to equitable opportunity.
Discussions will focus on methods to assess systemic and individual equity and address disparities in talent acquisition, management, and engagement. Participants will learn best practices and strategies for improving equity/talent processes and creating pathways to promote increased involvement and success of historically underrepresented and marginalized groups. Through real-world scenarios and interactive activities, this workshop will provide key insights and actionable strategies to increase diversity and equity in organizational hiring and talent management.
