MASTERCLASS:
INCLUSIVITY FOR HR PROFESSIONALS
“Diversity and Inclusion is a top-to-bottom business strategy – not just an HR program”.
– Josh Bersin, Founder, Bersin by Deloitte
Workplace diversity & inclusion affects the development of interpersonal relationships, how supervisors and managers interact with staff and how employees relate to each other. … In many ways, workplace diversity & inclusion increases HR responsibilities and holds the department accountable for functions mandated by law.
WORKSHOP SYNOPSIS
When discussing the changing role of human resources, diversity & inclusion is a topic that must be included. One of the most pressing challenges facing human resources practitioners is to foster a working environment characterized by tolerance and inclusion for workers from very diverse backgrounds.
Masterclass: Inclusivity for HR Professionals teaches HR executives and business partners how to play an active role in encouraging dialogue and understanding among the different groups represented within their companies. Educating workers about workplace diversity is an important part of the changing role of human resources managers in organizations of all sizes.
We’ll introduce the concept of both conscious and unconscious bias and explore their impacts on HR practice. Our approach moves participants beyond the simple concepts of ‘Negative’ and ‘Affinity’ biases to the more complex ‘Benevolent’ and ‘Intersectional’ biases.
