Enabling Inclusion By Dismantling Systemic Barriers

In this session, we explored crucial aspects that hindered diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) efforts in the past and discussed effective strategies to overcome them.

We delved into the "pre-work" necessary to adopt an inclusive lens and the groundwork for a comprehensive transformation.

Our expert speakers delved into key areas such as:

• Understanding the reasons behind past failures in DEIB initiatives
• The pitfalls of hiring DEI specialists without adequate support and leadership commitment
• The policies and systems that needed to be dismantled
• Pressing needs to eliminate structural and cultural barriers that impeded organizations from attracting diverse and talented employees.
