About this Event
Presently, there is a national dialogue regarding racial equity happening across a plethora of organizations. Many companies have made donations or a company response to the public but what are they doing to make changes in their own organization.
While many organizations pride themselves on diversity those numbers usually reflect the shop floor level. Research shows only 3.2 percent of executives and senior manager-level employees are African American.
Many of you have shared with us a desire to respond to the distress impacting your employees. It is evident many want to have impactful discussions with your teams and are unsure on how to facilitate these talks for the betterment of your people and your company.
