In this webcast, we will explore the historical progression of curating a diverse workforce and how organizations can leverage analytics to solidify a culture of inclusion through the power of advanced analytics.

2. Do ONA to understand/measure inclusion
3. Take actions on 1 & 2
4. Get Affinity Groups to talk about things that drive
change/make impact
5. Make D&I a business priority
‘If it is to be, it is up to me’
1. Do analysis on what is driving/impeding diversity
