C-Suite Allyship

Allyship: Showing Up for the Neurodivergent Community

Speakers: Christina Hancock and Adina Mencer

Neurodiversity represents a shift from a “medical/mental health” definition that focuses on disorders and impairments to a “social” definition about accepting the whole person and attempting to tap into the unique capabilities/talents of neurodivergent employees. This shift in perspective can have a positive impact on how neurodivergent employees feel supported and valued at work and in how they are seen by their neurotypical peers.

Trust: The DEI Sustainability Factor

Speaker: Linda Bing, PhD, CDE®, CRS

Cultures that score low on employee trust do not typically achieve and maintain their DEI goals. Why? Because trust is an important sustainability factor for DEI.

Attendees will gain new insight on the relationship between trust and DEI and ways to positively impact them both.
