Competencies: Leadership (Behavioral), Workplace (Technical) | Intended Audience: Senior-Level
Workplace Application:
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practitioners in all sectors will learn how DEI best practices are integrated into the workplace. 

Many Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) practices have been shared across the private and public sectors. Some of practices are effective while others may miss the mark.  Janice Underwood, Ph.D., Director of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, will discuss best practices generally from the perspective of a national diversity expert as well as the response to Executive Order (E.O.) 14035 from federal agencies.

Learning Objectives:

  • Gain perspectives on evidence-based DEIA methodologies and strategies from the Nation's largest employer, what works, what doesn't and what's promising.
  • Benchmark the maturity of their DEIA efforts to assess the effectiveness of DEIA within their workforce policies and culture.
  • Consider what factors are preventing leaders from championing DEIA as an essential value and component of the organization's mission.

In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
