Diversity and Inclusion Webinar Series “Inclusion by Design: Making it Real and Making it Happen” on February 15th

02/11/16

While intentions have changed in the business community, true inclusion remains elusive. Quite likely the primary challenge for most organizations is that inclusion remains an abstract and vague thing. Even leaders that truly want greater inclusion have a hard time explaining in a clear and concise way what that means. Inclusion is commonly viewed as an attitude or the absence of hatred and intentional discrimination. This webinar is built around a tangible model of inclusion, including common barriers, a way of assessment and practices to employ toward greater inclusion.

About the Presenter: Joe Gerstandt has brought new perspectives and new practices regarding diversity and inclusion to organizations large and small, across industry. He co-authored the book Social Gravity: Harnessing the Natural Laws of Relationships, served on the board of the Global Diversity and Inclusion Foundation, and currently serves on the Talent Management Human Capital Executive Research Board, the Chief Learning Officer Business Intelligence Board and the HR Examiner Advisory Board.
