Understanding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

DEI is currently a priority for many organizations. In making DEI a priority, it is important to
understand the definition and impact of diversity, equity and inclusion on organizations and
individuals. This workshop provides a foundational overview of DEI, basic concepts, and best
practices. We will explore the impact and role of DEI in organizational culture and success.

Generational Diversity Matters

Many workplace diversity initiatives are primarily centered on race and gender; however, research reveals there is great need for deliberate attention on generational diversity in the workplace. Generational diversity is defined as having multiple generations in the workforce. Currently, there are four generations coexisting in the workplace. Each of these generations views the world through different lenses which can lead to conflict and disruption in the workplace. While there maybe conflict that arises from this occurrence, generational diversity is a beneficial resource to the workplace.
This workshop examines how generational diversity in the workplace can advance innovation, problem solve and create leadership pipelines.
