The work of DEI has been an evolution over decades, but if you listen to its critics it can sound like an attempted revolution. Join us to explore what we can learn from this response, and how DEI and talent development professionals can respond to criticism and feedback. By doubling down on concepts of inclusion, we’ll discuss how we can continue to advance DEI’s aims in a challenging environment: creating workplaces that respect, value, and enable the individuals that comprise them.
Learning Objectives:
Incorporate DEI goals into learning experiences in ways that build on a growth mindset and positive psychology.
Re-evaluate, revise, or refine DEI initiatives to improve the odds of creating real behavioral and cultural change.
Productively challenge and debate the premises of DEI initiatives to drive improved outcomes.
