PART TWO: DEI Roundtable Discussions
Join us for a roundtable discussion on DEI in the COVID-19 Environment. During this program, we will have facilitated discussions in break-out rooms to share practices that each of our organizations have successfully or unsuccessfully implemented to facilitate and encourage DEI during the current pandemic. After the breakout sessions, we will return to the main group to share our learnings.
This is the second in a series of roundtable discussions directed to DEI. As with our prior roundtable, we will be compiling information from the meeting to later share.
Possible topics for discussion during the roundtable include:
- DEI challenges facing organizations during the pandemic
- Practices that organizations are adopting to address bias during the pandemic and in a work-from-home environment
- Approaches to annual reviews and compensation during these turbulent times
