In today's organizations and communities it is not hard to see how diversity encompasses our surroundings. Managers, leaders, and employees talk about diversity in their workplace, but if you were to ask does your company have a formal Diversity and Inclusion program, most would say no. The next question would be why. Organizations still struggle with not having a budget to build such a program or even the culture that embraces diversity, but don't realize it doesn't take a large budget or a budget at all to shine a light on Diversity. A panel of experienced diversity leaders will discuss how they have implemented diversity in their organizations while also sustaining the current culture.  HR practitioners and leaders will learn best practices from large, mid-sized and small Phoenix-based organizations around building a culture of diversity and inclusion on a shoestring. We will provide how to build a Diversity and Inclusion program with what already exist in the organizations today, how to find resources in the community, and steps to make it happen.
