Why Do You Need a Formal Diversity Plan?
It is of utmost importance that Executive Directors, Presidents, Diversity / EEO / Affirmative Action Officers, and Human Resource professionals maintain their seat at the table by understanding the business, and demonstrating how diversity works to support and enhance organizational objectives.
Your formal strategic diversity plan is more than a description of planned activities, it is a roadmap for your organization's diversity journey. When properly done, it will help you track and evaluate your initiatives, as well as justify your budget. Knowing how to develop a strategic diversity plan is the future of diversity, and in years to come, will be a cornerstone for work in the field.
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn how a formal diversity plan can help you exceed organizational expectations, reduce legal risks, and transform your corporate culture. Additionally, find out how to make your diversity initiatives more inclusive and compliant with federal laws. Did you know that:
- Using bonuses or awards as incentives to motivate managers to achieve diversity goals could be used as evidence in a reverse discrimination lawsuit?
- If you have a diversity plan, it should not contain specific numbers, such as hire 25 African Americans or promote 5 women? Because among other things, if you fail to meet these numbers, it could serve as evidence that imbalances exist and failure to eliminate them is proof of continuing discrimination.
- An Affirmative Action Plan is different from a Diversity Plan?
In a one-day seminar, you will learn the best practices for:
(1) Creating a formal roadmap for your diversity initiatives and programs;
(2) Developing a Diversity Recruitment Plan;
(3) Creating a Supplier Development Plan.
(4) Facilitating Diversity on Your Board of Directors.

WINTER WEBINAR SERIES
WE COUNT! THE BLACK AGENDA IS THE AMERICAN AGENDA America has experienced its share of troubles this past year: the worst recession since World War I; the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with doubts about the exit plans; rising poverty in our inner cities, suburbs and rural communities; and the disproportionate power of corporations and special interests in Congress. In this “post racial” era, the question needs to be asked: Is there a need for a Black Agenda? The conversation will be moderated by Tavis Smiley. Invited panelists include Cornel West, Valerie Jarrett, Michael Eric Dyson, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Barbara Lee, Tom Burrell, Marc Morial, Ben Jealous, Al Sharpton and others. The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30am (CT). All attendees must be registered for admittance. Registration ends Thursday, March 18, 2010, 2:00pm (CT). Event Date: Saturday, March 20, 2010
