Beyond “Diversity of Thought”: Sustaining Meaningful Inclusion
In today’s climate, many organizations are shifting their language from “diversity, equity, and inclusion” to the safer-sounding phrase “diversity of thought.” But what’s at stake when symbolic language replaces authentic action?
This intimate conversation, featuring two dynamic DEI thought leaders, will unpack the tension between rhetoric and reality in the workplace. Together, they’ll explore what employees lose when identity is reduced to ideas, highlight examples of meaningful inclusion in practice, and share strategies for building belonging that goes beyond words.
Attendees will walk away with:
A clear understanding of how symbolic shifts impact underrepresented employees.
Practical examples of how leaders can turn DEI values into measurable outcomes.
