While many organizations have policies in place for diversity, equity, and inclusion, both management and employees often struggle with being effective allies for people with marginalized identities. This timely discussion with Jennifer Kennedy will cover the mindset and actions necessary for us all to become better allies in the workplace and the community.
Facilitated by Beth Caldwell, Executive Director of Pittsburgh Professional Women, this event offers an open and frank opportunity to learn communication strategies that foster a safe and inclusive environment for vital conversations about identity. ALL ARE WELCOME*.
