Sustainable Inclusion Must Equal Business Success at the Highest Level

Inclusion 2020
Participants will learn specific strategies & tools to gain sustainable buy-in & support from C-level executives and other key decision-makers. 

The world and the workplace have shifted dramatically as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. A significant number of corporations paused their efforts focused on building inclusive workplaces. The expectation among most corporate leaders is to 'restart' their I&D efforts after the business climate returns to normal. Newsflash, disruptions are the new normal! The pausing of inclusion efforts provides for a strong indication of its perceived value. This session will provide executives and HR decision makers with specific strategies to ensure that inclusion is viewed as integral to any viable business strategy. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Why Inclusion must equal business success at the highest level.  

  • How to identify specific needs, processes, systems and tools that will enable your organization to leverage inclusive thinking to maximize its effectiveness in three essential areas of business: 1) People and People Development Systems 2) Company Culture, Products & Services to deliver business results that exceed those of your competitors 3) Current & Prospective Customer profile analysis.  

  • How to utilize the concept of disruptive curiosity, along with solutions provided during the session, to achieve sustainable support and positive business results.
