Despite good intentions and stated commitment, the representation of women and diverse leaders has not progressed as far as we had hoped. We need a new approach - one that goes beyond trying to change mindsets, building awareness and implementing programs with little result.
Objectives
- Participants will learn a new approach to make faster progress towards diverse and inclusive workplaces
- Participants will understand how to interrupt bias in talent processes
- Participants will build an understanding of how evidence and science can be applied to build inclusion in the workplace
