Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are important elements in sustainable labor recovery. But what do these really mean in the workplace context? While businesses are aware of the importance of these elements, many are often unsure where to start.

go2HR is committed to building strong and safe workplaces. We have engaged ParriagGroup, a leading EDI firm, to build a webinar that deepens our understanding of EDI and how to start reshaping the workplace.

What participants can expect:
• learn what is generally meant by the terms equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI)
• learn why it is so important from both a people and a business perspective
• receive an introduction to the EDI Framework
• learn how the EDI Framework can be used
