WORKSHOPS

Implementing Equity In Policies And Procedures

Developing an equity lens to inform decision making is a critical tool to be able to foster an environment that honors each employee’s unique gifts, talents, and backgrounds while also advancing the mission of the organization. This workshop will give participants the opportunity to explore the concept of an equity lens and apply that learning to critically analyze how policies and procedures impact under served, historically marginalized groups in the workplace.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have become crucial issues in the modern workplace, and organizations are recognizing the importance of creating a diverse and inclusive environment. However, building a sustainable and measurable DEI program is not an easy task. In this presentation, we will discuss the key components of a road map for building a sustainable and measurable DEI program and explore strategies for implementation that can help organizations create a more inclusive workplace and achieve their DEI goals.
