WEBINAR: Building better organizations with the Inclusive Workplace Competencies

FREE webinar for Diversity and Inclusion Professionals!

Join this webinar to learn about the Inclusive Workplace Competencies, a new model from TRIEC that can help you build a more inclusive organization.

Tuesday, November 21, 2017, 12 p.m. – 1 p.m.

The business case and moral imperative for diversity and inclusion in the workplace are long established. Many organizations now see the value, not only of being diverse, but also being inclusive.

The key questions being asked now are often about execution: How exactly do you create an inclusive workplace?” What skills do different people in the organization need to have in order to practice inclusive behaviour? What knowledge is needed?”

TRIEC has recently developed the Inclusive Workplace Competencies to help answer these questions. This new model defines the behaviour, skills and knowledge needed to create a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Join TRIEC and special guests for a webinar that will explore how the Inclusive Workplace Competencies will add value to organization’s Diversity and Inclusion work, and how you can apply this model in your workplace.
