Interactive Session

Gender and racial equity in the workplace are no longer talking points, they are standards demanded by your next hire, your board of directors, your loyal customers.

From job descriptions to the interviewing process, diversity and inclusion changemakers will be provided with low-cost strategies to disrupt gender and racial bias in organizational systems in order to attract best-in-class talent.

You will learn:

- The policies that work and the well-intentioned policies and practices that fail to increase workplace diversity

- Hands-on practice developing and implementing an interview rubric designed to mitigate bias
