Understanding and Managing the backlash for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

Wednesday, 22 January 2025 - This session examines the roots of these issues, including feelings of exclusion, skepticism about outcomes, and fears of change. Participants will explore how to address these concerns while maintaining a clear and steady commitment to inclusion. Through practical insights, this session will help leaders communicate the value of EDI, showing how it drives innovation, business success, and a stronger workplace culture. Participants will learn how to reframe EDI as a unifying effort that benefits everyone, to create understanding and reduce opposition. The discussion will highlight several strategies, such as leveraging data, building allyship, and promoting positive engagement across teams. Leaders will leave with tools to navigate backlash effectively, turning challenges into opportunities for connection, growth, and meaningful progress. - - Event Details
