Virtual Lunch & Learn- Workplace Allyship Series
A diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace creates a space where all employees feel safe and supported. These types of workplaces are made through the work of allies.
Join us for the Workplace Allyship Lunch & Learn Series, where we will explore topics surrounding equity, diversity, and inclusion. We'll focus on inclusivity in the workplace, representation in a global world, and how, when left ignored, these issues can lead to loss of productivity, turn-over, and lawsuits.
Each session will include a presentation from an industry expert and a Q&A. Grab your lunch and get ready for engaging conversation. No matter what role you play in your organization, you can increase your organization's inclusivity. You can be an ally!
