GOV2235. "It's Not Just the Right Thing to Do, It's Just Good Business": Moving Forward and Beyond the Case for DEI

"The connection between financial reward and diversity is impossible to prove because research only establishes a correlation, not causation, between the two.” This quote, from Catalyst (a not-for-profit focused on workplace inclusion), summarizes the challenge that so many organizations, in various sectors, struggle with. Nevertheless, whether correlation or causation, numerous surveys and studies confirm that younger generations value DEI, and expect their employers to do the same.  

This session will discuss not just the business case for DEI, but ways that organizations can move forward effectively. 

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the business case for DEI.
• Identify ways that organizations can move forward effectively.
