HR Indiana Conference: “Mega Session: Why Diversity Isn’t Enough”

Purple Ink VP of Talent Strategy and Success Jeremy York will lead this session at the HR Indiana Conference.

Do your employees feel fully accepted as members of the workplace? If not, your diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives need work. Most organizations actively pursue diverse representation in their workplace, but this won’t necessarily ensure that all employees feel included. Creating a sense of belonging — an employee’s perception of acceptance within a given group. Belonging is a key component of inclusion. When employees are truly included, they perceive that the organization cares for them as individuals, their authentic selves. HR can help make that happen. This presentation will provide HR leaders with the tools to reinvigorate their inclusion approach and goals.
