Solving DEI Challenges in a Remote Workforce
Inclusion is a key driver of innovation and engagement, which have been sorely tested during this time of worldwide disruption for more than a year. As companies started shifting to remote work during the corona virus pandemic, they should consider taking extra measures to ensure that all employees are included and have equal opportunities. DEI is an issue for organizations, even in a normal in-person office environment, but the problem can intensify with distance.
For example, when multiple professionals work together, miscommunication can happen due to differences in cultural norms, communication styles, and expectations. In a globally distributed workforce that doesn’t have as many possibilities for in-person connections, this can be even more of a risk.
So how to make sure remote employees all receive equal support? And how to build truly inclusive remote teams?
Our speakers in this panel will consider the following topics:
- The new challenges and opportunities presented by remote work
- Harnessing the power of analytics and DEI to transform the future workplace
- Conceptualizing and measuring workplace diversity in a remote setting.
