Description:

Unsurprisingly, most diversity programs are not increasing diversity. Organizations basically double down on the same approaches they have used since the 1960s—which often make things worse, not better. Studies prove that this kind of force feeding can activate bias rather than stamp it out. This often results from improperly grouping diversity and inclusion together as one, unified concept. When considered and implemented separately however, inclusion practices often accomplish an organization’s diversity goals. Participants will re-imagine the relationship between diversity and inclusion to understand why many diversity programs fail, and leave empowered with inclusion strategies for realizing genuine employment equality.
