Many of us are navigating the changes, and in some cases significant challenges surrounding the current state of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs and directives in our country.  On the surface, it may be a change in verbiage, processes, or policies.  But it’s so much more than that.  Its people being deeply affected both personally and professionally, and its Human Resources Professionals learning how to navigate these changes and their effects.

Join us for an interactive session including a panel of industry professionals, and round table group discussions where our goal is to help our HR Community better understand and deal with the changing DEI environment and new issues that may arise from it.
