DEI in the Workplace: Progress Over Perfection
Description:
When an organization embarks on its diversity, equity and inclusion journey, the fear of making a misstep—exposing a blind spot, saying the wrong thing—can be one of the most common, and fatal, impediments to progress. And as every aspect of office life gets reimagined in the wake of COVID-19, it’s even more critical to convey not just a DEI philosophy, but tangible actions for leaders, learners and allies to take in order to help people overcome that fear and foster a truly equitable culture. Join us for a discussion on embracing the philosophy of progress over perfection.
