Where is Equity Now? A Panel Discussion

Sep 17, 4:00 – 5:00 PM (UTC)

Community Ask Me Anything

Join us and some of the top DEI and HR experts to discuss the current state of workplace equity. We’ll explore the impact of SHRM’s recent changes, how HR leaders can support employees during the upcoming election, and strategies to navigate shifting DEI priorities. Gain actionable insights to foster an inclusive culture.

About this event

Join us for a compelling panel discussion as we explore the current landscape of equity in the workplace amid shifting priorities in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. With recent divestments in DEI initiatives, SHRM’s decision to remove equity from its DEI framework, and the looming influence of the upcoming political season, the conversation around equity has never been more critical.

In this one-hour session, our distinguished panelists—leaders in DEI and people strategy—will delve into the most pressing issues affecting equity today. They’ll share insights on the impact of reduced DEI support on organizational culture and employee engagement, the role leaders must play in sustaining equity efforts, and practical strategies for driving meaningful change in challenging times.

Whether you’re a DEI professional, HR leader, or simply passionate about advancing equity in the workplace, this discussion will provide valuable perspectives and actionable takeaways.
