Creating an inclusive work environment is not just the “right thing to do.” Inclusive behaviors are tied to higher levels of individual performance and firm profits; yet creating and working in an inclusive work environment often feels elusive, as evidenced by the fact that almost two-thirds of workers are disengaged at work.
In this interactive session, you will learn about the business case for inclusive work cultures and five simple actions anyone can take to create a more inclusive work environment for those they work with, regardless of current role or firm size. Applicable to everyone from new graduates to CEOs, these strategies have been shown to create a more inclusive work environment while requiring little time or budget to implement. When implemented consistently, these strategies create better work cultures for everyone and improve the retention of coworkers in traditionally marginalized gender, racial, and ethnic groups. You will leave this session empowered with specific actions you can immediately apply to engineer inclusion in your everyday interactions.

NOTICE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking extra steps to ensure that all participants can view CFSEI webinars while practicing social distancing. If you usually view CFSEI webinars in a group format, such as a conference room, please provide us with the names and email addresses of all attendees from your company on the registration form. We will provide a unique link for each individual and notify them individually so they can view the webinars in an isolated setting. We will continue to register groups in this way for the foreseeable future. Thank you for taking this extra step in the registration process. If you have any questions, please contact CFSEI at [email protected].
