Webinar: Still Making the Case for DEI? Drop the Spreadsheet

Unlike champions of innovation, resiliency, or integrity, champions of diversity are often asked by their organizations for a business case to justify investing time and resources. When implemented intentionally, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies can lead to increased revenue, reduced costs, greater innovation, and increased employee engagement, productivity, and commitment. While these benefits make for a strong business case, doing the right thing for employees and customers shouldn’t require a bottom-line justification. Join us for this webinar as we examine the diversity rationale and how through inclusion, it can strengthen any workplace culture. Together we will:

• Uncover employee attitudes about DEI rationales and messaging for enhanced engagement and retention
• Learn how correctly leveraging the “fairness case” for DEI can benefit your organization and employees
• Understand the unique positive and negative impacts of different DEI rationales and how you can use them to drive DEI objectives
• Strengthen workplace culture through practical strategies for aligning your company’s DEI programs and ambitions with organizational values and mission
