WPAC Q1 Event: Navigating DEI Horizons: ROI, Inclusion, and Strategic Choices

Join us for an insightful exploration into the current evolution of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts within corporate landscapes. In this highly engaging event, we will delve into the ROI of DEI and identify best practices to shape the future of workplace diversity. Our panelists will share valuable insights, experiences, and strategies to inspire meaningful change in your organization's DEI initiatives.

In addition, we will address the critical decision-making aspect of "doubling down versus stepping away" in the realm of DEI. As organizations navigate the complexities of diversity programs, we will explore the strategic choices facing leaders – whether to intensify their commitment and efforts or reconsider their approach. Gain practical insights on when and how to double down on successful initiatives or pivot strategies for more effective outcomes. This event promises to empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and drive impactful change within your organization.

Level-Setting Overview for Attendees: We will also aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts in the corporate sphere. We will explore key concepts, share recent trends, and highlight the significance of fostering an inclusive workplace. This level-setting segment will equip attendees with a foundational understanding, setting the stage for deeper discussions and actionable insights throughout the event. Additionally, we will be including data and other information from the recent survey commissioned by NGLCC, NMSDC, WBENC, and the PPS Institute focused on capturing the sentiments of senior executives in the private sector towards diversity initiatives and the wave of attacks on these programs.
