We all want to feel valued, recognized, empowered and to feel that we belong at work, that is why diversity and inclusion is so important for winning the top talents today. It is no longer a good to have, but a need to have. But how do you ensure that our talent processes is free from bias and discrimination? How can we identify and mitigate bias in recruitment? How can we empower and develop diverse talents? And how can we create inclusion and belonging so that top talents want to stay? In this workshop, we discuss solutions for debiasing our organizations.

Join Genesys Global DE&I Director and Professor, Tandalea Mercer for an examination of culturally insensitive language in the workplace, as well as a look back at how the power of words have shaped many of the developments of the past year. From the historical origins of the divisive language dating back to colonialism to a discussion about how we can move away from it, this talk will cover a lot of ground from how words can disrupt inclusion in the workplace to how they may even incite violence. You will also take away practical examples of how to choose intentionality around language as a force for empathy and positive communication, as well as hear a call to action and how Genesys’ core values tie into this.

Do you want to increase diversity in your organization, but feel like you’re just trying to meet

Rosie Yeung, Certified HR Leader and veteran recruiter, and Susan Bartlett, Rhodes Scholar
