Presentation Topic: "The Business Case for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:  How it Impacts Your Bottom Line"

People often assume that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) programs are merely recruiting strategies to hire and retain more women and minority employees; that couldn’t be further from the truth. Today, DE&I Initiatives are about helping an organization better leverage its most valuable asset – its STAFF. When done correctly, a business can exceed the needs of their team and their customer bases both current and future. With the goal of education, engagement and empowerment, an effective DE&I strategy allows a company to be unapologetically for profit while expanding access and improving opportunity. Building better relationships, better products, and better market share is the output of deliberate and intentional strategic initiatives designed to improve human experience. Doing the right thing for the people that you serve is not just a good thing to do, it is a requirement in order to thrive and grow.

Attendees can expect these 3 takeaways:

• Data informed decision-making allows for thoughtful, strategic action.
• Educate, Engage, and Empower your employees to fully leverage their superpowers.
• DE&I is good for the workplace, workforce, and marketplace. Organizations that do DE&I well are better performing and more profitable than businesses that don’t.
