DWP 2018: Creating a Sustainable Culture of Inclusion in Your Agency – a Culture interest event taking place on 2018-04-18 09:00:00 in United States
Demographic shifts are changing the demands of design and product creation every day, and teams that leverage diversity are more creative, more collaborative, and better at solving problems. Led by inclusion experts Randolph Carter and Elizabeth Denevi, this workshop will empower agency leaders, hiring managers, and executive teams to strengthen their organization’s core culture and create a more equitable environment for employees of color and LGBTQ employees, so they can do their best work, thrive, and grow into leadership positions. At minimum, agencies must register two participants from their agency, including one decision-maker (a partner or CEO) and the hiring manager/HR lead (if one exists), plus anyone else who is interested in helping to lead the effort. Workshop fee includes catered lunch. Participants will: · Build an understanding of why diversity, equity and inclusion, along with managing bias, are critical to enhance creativity and breakthrough innovations and ultimately to contribute to the success of the design industry and your agency · Begin to build an understanding of how to create a more equitable environment for employees of color and LGBTQ employees to do their best work, to thrive and to grow into leadership positions. · Gain access to resources to do this work immediately Organizers include Lisa Congdon, Eugenie Jolivett Fontana, Victor Maldonado, the leaders of w(HERE), a Portland collective of creatives of color and LGBTQ creatives.
