DEI – It’s Your Choice: Learning and Results, or Resistance and Risk?

Page Menu

How leaders and team members learn about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) can often determine whether it is a positive experience that helps an organization and its employees in terms of talent engagement, performance and overall results, or instead a cause for resentment, frustration and at times, risk and litigation. This session will provide a unifying learning structure for leaders and their teams and an approach that connects DEI to other organizational imperatives.

During this Training Industry Leader Talk, your speaker, Stephen Paskoff, chief executive officer of ELI, will present a DEI learning model that unifies participants for results rather than generating resentment and risk.

This session will provide easy-to-understand insights on how to ensure DEI:

  • Matters to everyone in the organization.
  • Connects with other related business initiatives.
  • Becomes an ongoing leadership and team responsibility tied to results.
