Recognition and Inclusion: The Missing Link in your DE&I Strategy

Inclusion is top of mind for many organizations, as it should be. Yet, many employees still report ineffective and inauthentic inclusion strategies and initiatives. The 2021 Global Culture Report found that 83% of those who self-identify with any minority group are more likely to feel their organization talks about diversity in ways that box employees into traditional categories that don’t accurately express who they are. HR Leaders continue to be at a loss for where to go next.  

Join Dr. Alexander Lovell of the O.C. Tanner Institute as he shares strategies for improving inclusion and equity in the workplace from the lens of employee recognition. Learn about key factors to building successful inclusion initiatives, including:

  • The critical connection between inclusion, equity, and employee recognition
  • Core considerations for an inclusive, effective, and equitable recognition program
  • How to measure inclusion through your recognition program
