If any of us are unsure of how to get to a specific destination and call to ask for directions, the first question asked is “Where are you now?” It is virtually impossible for anyone to give us the help we need if they don’t know where we are starting from. This is equally true for assessing your Diversity & Inclusion Initiative. Similarly, we’ve been taught to “go with the energy” and the importance of understanding where an individual and/or organization is in order to “meet them where they are.” This webinar can help!

At this Complimentary webinar you will answer:

•What are the typical “drivers” that cause most organizations to begin or re-energize their diversity/inclusion initiative?

•Where would you locate your organization’s commitment on a “Readiness for Change Continuum?”

•What are the five critical elements that must be addressed in order to create meaningful culture change?

•Meaningful results require “intentional change” – the absence of which typically produces a lot of “activity” that, at best, creates some short-lived positive “buzz.” Worst case scenario is that your organization continues to commit human and financial resources to these efforts – while employees become increasingly skeptical that anything will ever really “change.”
