The Right IDEA: Doing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Right

Virtual 205 Main Street East, North Bay, Ontario, Canada

“Diversity” and “inclusion” have become buzzwords. They’re used in casual conversation by CEOs and world leaders alike. But how do you actually do diversity and inclusion right, in a way that isn’t performative, and has the intended impact? Knowing that diversity and inclusion are important and knowing where to begin when developing an IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility) program or strategy, are two different things. Many workplaces know that IDEA is both the right thing and the smart thing to do, but simply don’t know where to start. The Right IDEA: Doing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Right is an engaging and witty look at how organizations can get started on their IDEA journey. Based on his best-selling and award-winning book Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right, Michael Bach presents his 6-step model on how an organization can start and stay on its IDEA journey. Presented by the Northern Ontario Chambers of Commerce network. This virtual event will be held at 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm on Thursday, September 23rd. After registering, an email will be provided with the zoom link. Fees NBDCC Chamber Members FREE Non-Members - $40.00 To register for the event, please email [email protected] […]
