OpenSesame Resource Hub

Following the north star of creating an inclusive culture can fall to the wayside, or become hard to maintain during times of extreme uncertainty and difficulty. Join us for a refreshing set of ideas as we dive into new approaches for how to keep DEI a priority, drive cross-functional commitment, and stay true to our commitment to creating an inclusive world during nebulous times. Morgan Mercer will present novel frameworks for approaching DEI in the new world, ideas for how to shift an organization's approach towards presenting and teaching DEI, and how to drive both alignment and outcomes in the most effective and efficient way possible when bandwidth, capacity, and morale can be a challenge. We will also explore how to navigate polarizing beliefs in a charged climate, and how to overcome these hurdles to create cross-functional alignment at all levels (from executives to employees) around the importance of inclusion.

Learn how to:

• Adopt a skills-based approach to DEI

• Keep DEI as a priority in an uncertain future

• Create continued buy-in and alignment from company leaders and employees

• Stay true to DEI objectives during uncertain and difficult times

• Create cross-functional commitment
