Creating A Powerful Organization: Supercharging Your Talent Strategy Through DEI
with Chaka Booker
Regardless of the industry, the success of your organization hinges on the talent inside your organization. More than ever, building your team through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is key to a strong culture and high performance. By any measure, the world has always been diverse, but factors such as the global economy, shifting expectations of corporate social responsibility, and nationwide protests highlight that reflecting this diversity in our organizations is the smart and right thing to do.
Join Chaka Booker, managing director of The Broad Center and author, to learn specific practices that will leverage the complexities of identity and decision-making and improve how you manage your most important investment - your people.
