Bridging the Gap in 2019

We are excited to open registration for our 31st Annual Forum on Workplace Inclusion® (The Forum). This year’s theme, Bridging the Gap, invites fresh perspectives and new shifts in thinking, which examine trending challenges and advancements toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across industries and engages our community around four compelling questions we call our learning pillars.

2019 Learning Pillars

How can we effectively address the gaps in values and beliefs that are causing toxicity at work?
What must we do to bridge the gap from the inclusion of diverse perspectives and experiences to the integration of diverse perspectives and experiences?
What is required to bridge the gap between technology (robotics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, etc.) and human experience, wisdom and insight?
How must we examine cultural power and privilege in order to bridge the gap between empowerment and power?

We invite all of you to join us for this year’s conference. Register today!

Why ‘Bridging the Gap’?

The socio-political environments in which we live and work around the world are testing our personal values and beliefs. Separate realities and opposing viewpoints often collide making it difficult to identify or address the systemic and polarizing gaps perpetuating obstacles to inclusion. Let’s change that – together. Save the date for the 31st annual Forum on Workplace Inclusion as we work to Bridge the Gap.
