Workshop Abstract
This workshop is designed to bring participants an up-to-date view of how the conversation and action about “inclusion and diversity” in the workplace have evolved over the last two years. Presenters will share lessons of experience about what works and what is needed to drive strategically-aligned, enterprise-wide Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Belonging (IDEB) work in 2022 and beyond. This workshop will offer implications for both practice and applied research.

Learning Objectives: This workshop is designed to help participants:

• Gain insights from case examples and applied research for driving enterprise-wide IDEB outcomes in a disrupted work-world.
• Understand the key actions that are necessary to drive sustainable IDEB outcomes.
• Learn about new practitioner frameworks that can broaden our perspectives about how IDEB work can be transformed to meet new expectations.
• Explore the implications of insights and lessons from the workshop to their own practice or research interests.
• Provide space for participants to both learn and share ideas.
