The University of Phoenix will host a new webinar discussing diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace; and how it is evolving over time.
The “DE&I: A Driving Force for Business” webinar series is hosting a new event entitled: “Rethinking and Harnessing the Power of Organisational Diversification in the New Normal.” It will centre around the idea that leadership and culture play a major role in shaping and eventually changing the current paradigm of diversification, inclusion and belonging within different organisations. During the webinar, panellists will discuss hiring efforts, socialisation of employees and what future opportunities are for organisations that embrace diversification and inclusion.
The webinar will also take a closer look at how organisational culture and leadership accountability can impact DE&I initiatives. “Making a difference should be more than policies, programmes or headcounts,” said event organiser Dr Bob Danielle, Marketing Director, University of Phoenix. “Very good to great organisations can outperform their competitors by respecting the unique needs, perspectives and potential of all their team members.”
