About this event
What will corporate DEI look like in 2025? This is a question that's top of mind for many talent practitioners as we soon enter a new year. Despite all the noise of protests against corporate DEI and the potential of different federal leadership, many companies are still continuing to invest in DEI work and push an anti-bias agenda.
To help us answer this burning question during our October webinar, we're incredibly excited to be joined by an expert panel of leaders driving change in corporate DEI - Fran Benjamin, Managing Partner at Good Works Consulting; John Graham Jr., VP of Employer Brand, Diversity & Culture at Shaker Recruitment Marketing; and Kalifa Oliver, Experience Coach & Executive Advisor at Kalifa K Oliver Experience Coaching.
During the session, we'll chat through:
- A recap of the major events that have shaped DEI in 2024
- Emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities organizations will encounter in developing meaningful, long-term DEI strategies - including how shifting social dynamics will influence corporate DEI policies
- The role of leadership in driving sustainable change
- The impact of technology and data on DEI initiatives
...and more! Looking forward to seeing you on October 16th as we gain practical insights on how to stay ahead of DEI trends and ensure sustainable progress within your organizations.
