Studies have shown that diverse and inclusive teams outperform organizations with homogenized cultures and thinking. Diverse teams attract and retain top talent more effectively in this highly competitive marketplace. These same organizations create a culture of listening, learning and innovation. However, diverse and inclusive cultures do not happen by accident; they are developed and nurtured. They are more complex to manage and often take new skills to maintain. Many organizations are talking about creating diverse and inclusive cultures, but few know how to do it.
“Better Together” provides an honest discussion about racism, discrimination, and bias. This workshop goes beyond just talking about the problem but will provide real-world solutions of how to move the conversation to action. The course provides practical steps and tools so participants can begin experiencing change immediately and the benefits of a diverse and inclusive organization.
