UK & EUROPE: Why Your Company Needs a 360 Degree DEI Approach

About this session

This event is eligible for SHRM credits. To receive the SHRM code, please attend the event live.

Is your company investing in DEI strategies with an eye towards both hiring and retaining diverse talent? And does your approach offer an inclusive lens that encompasses multiple countries?

Today, it’s no longer a question of whether your company can afford to invest in DEI. The reality is that you can’t afford not to. A heavy focus on DEI is quickly becoming the standard and norm in business practices, not simply a perk. Talent today expects their employer to have a DEI strategy with tangible results that prioritize the employee experience.

Unfortunately, too many employers stop their strategy short at hiring diverse talent. But in order to craft a truly inclusive DEI strategy that meets all the needs of talent and consumers today, you need an equally strong retention strategy.

Join PowerToFly in this chat to learn more about why your company should apply a DEI lens to both its hiring and retention strategies, and how to begin doing just that with transformational values that are specific to your region.

In this chat, you’ll learn:

  • How a lack of DEI hiring & retention policies may be affecting your team (and your engagement rate)
  • What employees today are demanding of their employers
  • How to identify key areas of focus for your DEI strategy, within the hiring process and across your company
  • The different forms DEI takes around the globe
  • How to avoid the pitfalls many companies make when building and implementing DEI strategies within their culture
  • How PowerToFly can support you in your DEI journey
Please register for this free event using your company email address.
