Description
The business landscape and the world of work are being transformed by changing demographics, rapid advances in technology and globalisation. These changes have implications for the workforce, the workplace and the marketplace. Responding to these changes creates opportunities for re-energising and recalibrating the focus on Diversity and Inclusion strategies in organizations. Examine the implications for re-energising, driving and sustaining D&I initiatives in the face of such trends as the rise of millennials in the workplace, new conversations on work, religion, race and multiple identities, cultural competence and the paradox of change.
This workshop offers:
- An awareness and broadened exposure to enhance understanding of new and emerging global trends
- Insights on how to address these trends as they impact D&I strategy
- Tools for managing the impact of organisational tensions that arise from these emerging trends
- Models and guidelines for engaging in challenging and courageous conversations that are linked to changing realities and emerging perspectives on D&I
