Navigating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in a Polarized World Working Group

In recent years, Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) has been given renewed focus in companies and organizations. There has been progress made in many areas, however, the climate that we are operating in has become more divisive and polarized than ever.

In this working group, Devon Proudfoot, Assistant Professor of HR Studies in the ILR School, along with Beth Flynn-Ferry, Executive Director of CAHRS, will facilitate a discussion about what organizations are facing as they continue to make progress in the DEI space.

•    How has the current climate impacted the DEI agenda?
•    Are there parts of DEI that are more challenging than others?
•    What are organizations doing to overcome obstacles here?

Our virtual working groups are kept small (20-25 participants) to allow for rich discussion and best practice sharing. Given the limited size of each session, we ask that you only register for a session if you will be able to attend for the duration. Prior to the session, attendees should give some thought to the questions included in the description, so they are prepared to share with the group. We also strongly prefer that participants be on camera during the session to allow for more engaging interaction.  If for some reason after you sign up for the working group, something comes up last minute (especially while many of us are working from home), it would be great to get even a last-minute e-mail advising us that you cannot attend as we sometimes have a waiting list.
