Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has historically taken a back seat in organizational life. As society shifts, organizations are bringing DEI to the forefront of our attention. Professionals in OD, L&D, and HR are tasked with tall orders in meaningfully applying DEI to the workplace.
How can we help our organizations gain greater clarity around what DEI success looks like? In this interactive session with Isaac Dixon, a highly respected HR/OD leader, we will discuss the factors of failure and success as we move into an unfamiliar area of practice. We will also discuss how to align DEI with your organizational strategy, mission, or vision, and how to balance DEI with many competing priorities.
