“…we are at a point in time when the importance and the real business value of diversity and inclusion is increasing. Issues of diversity and inclusion are more closely linked to the success and survival of our organizations than ever before.”
Thursday, September 17th, at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET
The Future of Talent Institute is proud to present an insightful discussion on diversity and inclusion with Joe Gerstandt. Joe will lead you through a valuable examination of what diversity and inclusion mean today. Joe is a speaker, facilitator and blogger on next generation diversity and inclusion practices. At the intersection of behavioral science, social media, innovation, and organizational culture, he explores how organizations can more successfully and more efficiently deliver on their promises by better utilizing intangible assets.
Joe works with Fortune 500 corporations, small non-profit organizations and everything in between. His writing and insights have been published in The Diversity Factor, the Workforce Diversity Network newsletter, the American Diversity Report and various online learning communities and blogs.
We all want to apply 21st century approaches to 21st century issues and it is time to re-set the conversation on diversity and inclusion. This is where we start. Joe will address the overall value of diversity and inclusion and then present a deeper discussion around:
- The Right Knowledge
- The Right Competencies
- The Right Indicators, and
- The Right Ownership
You can download a copy of Joe’s complimentary white paper, “Being Competitive for Talent Means Being Serious About Inclusion”, developed exclusively for the Future of Talent Institute, to gain early insight into Joe’s thinking and approach to diversity and inclusion.
“It is not uncommon to find an organization reducing dynamic and complex issues down to ethnic food celebrations and predominantly reactive conversations about tolerance and compliance. Not only do organizations and their leaders commonly miss the mark on this set of issues, but we are also at a point in time when the importance and real business value of diversity and inclusion is increasing. Issues of diversity and inclusion are more closely linked to the success and survival of our organizations than ever before.”
We’ve also planned time for an open dialogue with Joe following the presentation. I hope you’ll join us and know you’ll find the hour investment will help frame your thinking around inclusion strategies as you advance your organization’s cultural framework.
