Early-stage entrepreneurs have their hands full as they seek funding, leadership talent, and a startup strategy that will allow them to gain momentum from the get-go. Having an effective diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plan in place from day one gives employees the space and security they need to thrive. A recent survey found that when they work in an inclusive culture, 83% of millennials report being more actively engaged in their work.
In this webinar, Slone Partners President Tara Kochis-Stach will lead a conversation where panelists will share insights and best practices, and outline pragmatic steps early-stage companies can take to incorporate DEI into workplace culture.
In this informative webinar, we will discuss:
How to conceptualize diversity, equity, and inclusion in a startup setting
How to develop an effective, actionable, and sustainable DEI strategy from day one
How to facilitate candid conversations and healthy, open dialogue
How to prioritize three things you can do right now to further your DEI objectives
