Event Details

The term “melting pot” conjures up a variety of thoughts and ideas about diversity and inclusion and for most, it reflects the assumption that we’re all in this together and ain’t that grand! But alas, that’s not really what the term means as in reality, it’s about putting everything together to melt and mold into one common dish or flavor. Moreover, “we’re all in this together” is being replaced with chants of “go back to where you came from” and “you don’t belong!” The workplace environment today is, indeed, a cornucopia of individuals but unlike in earlier years, when assimilation was expected, today’s workforce strives to celebrate its individuality and uniqueness. Today, cultural pluralism is expected. Talk about stirring the pot!

HR’s role in ensuring diversity, inclusion and respect is more important than it has ever been. This one-hour webinar will dive into the local and larger trends so participants can begin to plan their workplace’s menu, so to speak. Heather will offer what she believes are the possibilities for some great meals given the diversity of our ingredients. Finally, she’ll provide her insights regarding the pitfalls, whether it be about having too much of a good thing, the lack of a key ingredient or the failed execution of what could have been a great dish.
