Webinar Recording: A Global Perspective on DEI Identification

 

About the Program

Join us for the sixth installment of our DEI Webinar Series: "A Global Perspective on DEI Identification."

For employers operating solely within a single country, compliance with DEI standards and data collection policies is challenging enough. Employers with international operations must also deftly navigate the ever-changing landscape of cross-country issues and global policies.  

Join us as our experienced speakers analyze some key issues related to international DEI monitoring programs that differ from the US, including:

• How different countries in EMEA and APAC approach DEI monitoring, including the legal frameworks that govern data collection, employee identification and discrimination,
• Practical issues surrounding DEI data collection, such as privacy concerns, cultural sensitivities, and compliance with international regulations like Europe's GDPR, and
• A discussion of issues for global organizations to look out for when rolling out DEI monitoring programs outside the US.

What to expect during the series:

• Insightful Discussions: Dive deep into the latest DEIB developments and their impact on employment practices. 
• Experienced Speakers: Learn from leading DEIB professionals with extensive industry experience. 
• Practical Takeaways: Equip your organization with tools and strategies to foster a more inclusive workplace. 

Additional Topics still to come in future webinars in our DEIB series:

• Leveraging ERGs to support DEIB efforts,
• Supporting Faith-Based ERGs,
• Global Self-Identification in support of DEIB, 
• And more!
