About this Event

A diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) assessment helps an organization understand the experience of various groups within the organization and their perceptions regarding workplace representation, fairness, inclusion, and belonging.

What should you expect?:

This 2-hour workshop will introduce participants to ways in which an organization, big or small can improve hiring practices and support staff from a DEI lens. Participants will be provided with a questionnaire to complete that addresses 4 dimensions of diversity in the workplace and engaged in an honest dialogue about their responses and perception of where their organization is at in their DEI work. From this workshop, 1-on-1 sessions can be booked to further support the organization.
