What happens when everyone is exhausted hearing about diversity and inclusion? We know that the lifespan of the average initiative is weeks, not years, so how do you maintain DEI momentum and create sustainable initiatives?
The insurance industry is in a period of innovation. Can we apply innovation to the DEI strategy? Beyond diversity, what is your inclusive leadership ROI? Is the answer to DEI building ERG Groups? That may not be the panacea for the insurance industry because, across all, sectors 68% of minority professionals said they've never benefited from being a part of an ERG or Affinity Group. What will you do to sustain your DEI Program?
This session explores:
- Critical components of sustainable DEI programs
- How to avoid the inevitable diversity fatigue
- How to prioritize and meet the DEI needs and interests of all your stakeholders
- How to address long-term sustainability of DEI initiatives
