Roane County Employers Association - Diversity:Strength Lies in differences, not in similarities
Corporations spend billions of dollars to attract and manage diversity. Join us as we explore diversity, how to embrace it, and how it can benefit our organizations. We will explore our differences and our similarities. In addition, we will address and answer:
- Social Group Identities
- What does the research show?
- How do we get there?
- The value of Inclusion and the cost of Exclusion
Join Jennifer for an informative and valuable discussion about diversity and how you can propel your company forward.
