Crucial Conversations from an HR Prospective: Creating a Safe Space Conversation with Staff Surrounding DEI&B (March 2023) - Recorded Webinar
- Registration Closed
Webinar Description
As a leader, have you ever had to address employee concerns when they do not feel your organization is inclusive or equitable? Do you have the resources to engage employees to celebrate differences and not feel ashamed of their own cultural/gender identity? This leadership webinar will define crucial conversations and how DEI initiatives are tangled within the communication web and will provide some insight on the challenges leaders have with navigating conversations with employees, peers, and leadership about inclusiveness. Through Crucial Conversations from an HR Perspective, leaders will be provided tools to help their organization transform into a safe space for employees to openly engage in DEI conversations, while garnering executive leadership support for crucial conversations as a continued corporate initiative. At the completion of the webinar, leaders should be able to improve the way they navigate crucial conversations regarding diversity, equity and inclusion, while building better relationships to exert the concept of "belonging" in and out of the workplace.
