Demand for designing workplaces where everyone can flourish is stronger than ever, but knowing where to begin can be difficult for nonprofit leaders seeking to attract and retain top talent. Successful wellness, inclusion, diversity and equity (W.I.D.E) initiatives are a journey for organizations, not a checklist. Strengthen your organization’s W.I.D.E. foundations to further your mission, and begin moving from commitment, to action.
Participants will leave the session with increased knowledge and skills to:
- Understand the evolution of DEI and how it impacts the workplace dynamic for nonprofit leaders in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Apply a holistic framework to Wellness and DEI so you can better align initiatives to emerging needs and improve workforce well-being
- Identify where your organization is on the journey and what you need to consider as you move forward
- Explore critical success factors for HR and business leaders to navigate change and shift from compliance to catalyst
- Avoid common pitfalls that often impede organizational progress
- Define actionable steps that you can take immediately on your journey
