Broaden Your DEI Beyond Race and Ethnicity
Everyone matters, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, or another unique characteristic.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is more than just about race and ethnicity. It's also about gender, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, neurodiversity, and other factors that make us unique. When we create a workplace that is inclusive of all people, we’re better able to attract and retain top talent, innovate, and solve problems.
Why is diversity and inclusion so important?
- 85% of employees say that a diverse workforce makes their company more innovative. (Forbes Insights)
- 75% of customers say they are more likely to do business with a company that is diverse. (Pew Research Center)
- Companies with more women in leadership positions are 15% more likely to outperform their competitors. (McKinsey & Company)
- Companies with more diverse workforces are 35% more likely to be financially successful. (McKinsey & Company)
But DEI is not just about numbers.
It's about creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome, respected, and valued. When people feel like they belong, they’re more likely to be engaged in their work and contribute their full potential.
Neurodivergent individuals hail from all races, ethnicities, socioeconomic groups, age ranges. They may have different communications styles, experience difficulties with social cues, need reasonable accommodations, and even face workplace discrimination.
That’s why The Society for Diversity elected to focus this year’s event on learning and enabling neurodivergent success. The 2023 Neurodiversity Summit: Wired for Success will feature speakers from a variety of backgrounds with lived experiences and expertise in neurodiversity and inclusion. You'll learn about the benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace, how to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for neurodivergent employees, and how to provide accommodations as needed.
The Neurodiversity Summit is the perfect opportunity to learn more about neurodiversity and how you can make your workplace more inclusive. Don't miss out!
Register for the Neurodiversity Summit today and learn how you can make a difference!
