Your workplace environment affects everything you do: from hitting career goals to enjoying healthy relationships with colleagues. Therefore, it’s crucial to foster a culture that hinges on caring, empathy, and respect — one rooted in diversity, inclusion, belonging, and equity (DIBE).
Everyone has a role to play when it comes to creating people-focused workplaces.
Jocelyne Wright-McLemore, Head of Total Rewards at Zapier, Marcos Valdez, Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging, Equity (DIBE) Program Manager, and Randy Jackson-Alvarenga, Technical Talent Sourcer, will share their experiences and best practices for turning concepts into action. They’ll talk about their areas of expertise and the successful policies Zapier has implemented to make DIBE second nature.
You’ll take away:
- How to bake DIBE into workplace DNA – organically
- Why an “ownership mentality” is necessary for building inclusive spaces
- Intentional efforts to attract talent from underrepresented groups
- Tips for initiating conversations with leaders to improve workplace experiences
- How embracing diverse perspectives can make you a stronger collaborator
