WEBINAR DETAILS

According to The Wall Street Journal, “The financial industry, once seen as a stronghold of older, mostly white men, now leads the S&P 500 index in terms of overall workforce diversity.” (10/26/19 article by Maitane Sardon.)

Diversity and inclusion appear to be good for business. Fresh thinking from a broader talent pool may result in innovative products and services that appeal to younger, more culturally diverse accountholders and job applicants. To succeed, an inclusive culture should begin with HR policies and practices that support diversity, condemn bias, and champion civility. D&I policies give people of all genders, races, and backgrounds a fair chance at employment, promotion, and career success – and help financial institutions understand the multilayered needs of their accountholders and communities.

This webinar will focus on the development and implementation of strategic best-practices-based D&I policies, practices, and training. Learn how to spot and stop bias; manage diversity and inclusion; minimize legal risks; and maintain a respectful work environment where every voice is heard, regardless of gender, age/generation, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, veteran status, or native language.
