HR Live: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (10/21/22 10:00 am-11:00 am) Zoom
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is a term most often used to describe a training format in the workplace. DEI training is utilized to encourage functional knowledge of fellow employees’ identities and how to navigate diversity in an organization. That said, the concept of DEI has a much broader scope of application. In simple terms, diversity is the mix and inclusion is getting the mix to work well together. Better business performance and openness to diversity widens our access to the best talent. Inclusion allows us to engage talent effectively. Together, this leads to enhanced innovation, creativity, productivity, reputation, engagement and results.

Communication Basics (12/1/22 10:00 am-12:00 pm) via Zoom
Every problem in the workplace may not stem from poor communication—but poor communication is the root of enough problems that it’s worth talking about! What, exactly, is communication? What is the difference between verbal and nonverbal communication, and why is nonverbal communication so important? What can go wrong when two people attempt to communicate? What can you do to be a more effective communicator? These topics will be the focus of this two-hour session about communication.
