Description
A company’s Diversity & Inclusion strategies only succeed when the company has a common global understanding of D&I. This is usually embodied in the vision and mission of D&I for the organisation. Mid-level communicators and D&I practitioners are often challenged with translating the D&I concepts into a locally relevant content. This is made more difficult by the jargon and US/Western-focused concepts in many vision and mission statements.
This session is for mid-level communicators and D&I practitioners who want to understand how to develop locally-relevant content aligned with their overall vision and mission.
Key Takeaways for attendees:
- Understand the characteristics of a D&I vision, mission and definition, as they align with and reflect the values of the company
- An introduction to an analysis framework to develop locally-relevant D&I content
- Establishing a feedback loop within the D&I office to aid in the evolution of the vision and mission over time
