General Session

Today’s learning and HR professionals are increasingly leading the charge in building more inclusive workplaces. While organizations increasingly support this as a critical goal of talent development, DEI does not exist within the vacuum of organizational leaders whose beliefs inherently support these initiatives. DEI exists locally within an organizational culture and, more broadly, within a complex social and political landscape. Talent Development professionals face the dual challenge of navigating the intricate dynamics of effective diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies within their organization’s unique culture and doing so within the larger context of legislative efforts that may not align with these values.

Our closing session welcomes seasoned HR and L&D leaders actively working through these challenges. During our panel discussion, we will explore actionable strategies for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, regardless of the external political climate. The panel will blend real-world examples, proven practices, and collaborative discussions with senior leaders who have successfully navigated these challenges. You will leave with a deeper understanding of leveraging your role to effect positive change, enhance organizational culture, and ensure that DEI efforts are impactful and sustainable.
