2020 Diversity in the Workplace Virtual Panel Discussion

Please join NJBIZ and our panel of experts as we virtually discuss:

• In the current cultural climate, companies are increasingly expected to show a real
  commitment to diversity. What approaches can ensure that such efforts are recognized as
  sincere and lasting?
• Beyond cultural imperatives, research has consistently shown that companies with diverse
  leadership perform better financially than others. How can executives promote diversity at
  the upper levels of management?
• While much progress has been made, business leaders might still encounter resistance to
  diversity programs. What can be done to head off or overcome that impediment?
•  Small businesses often face different challenges than large corporations. Where can
  proprietors who want to pursue diversity on a smaller scale find help?
• Given the demands for diversity, resources and training have become more widely
  available. What are the best sources of assistance for owners and executives?
• Diversity programs should be clearly communicated throughout the organization. What are
  the current best practices for making sure that all employees understand what is
  happening.
