DEI Conference
Building an Organizational Road Map for Equity & Belonging
Session Description:
At long last, organizations are seeking to dismantle the racism and inequities that allow discrimination, isolation and other atrocities to continue at work. Ending racism does not take time. It takes a decision, intention and a plan to do so. This session will provide a Road Map by which leaders and their organizations can begin &/or continue their work to dismantle racist and inequitable systems. This session will help leaders:
- muster the courage and determination to do their part to abolish racist systems
- identify the barriers to equity and belonging in their organizations
- develop a plan, strategies & tools to disrupt inequitable policies and practices
Objectives and Key Takeaways:
This interactive session will introduce leaders to a DEIB Road Map that, with guidance, they can begin to implement in their organizations. We will present a model that we use with clients and will answer these & other questions:
- “I want to do this work but where/how/when do we begin?”
- “How do we engage staff and hold them accountable for helping to abolish racist policies, practices & procedures?”
- “What do we do beyond staff training?”
- “What do we do when there is resistance from our teams, our community (or from ourselves)?”
- “How can we tell if/when we are making progress & how do we continue to improve?”
