Please Join Us For Our January 2022 Meeting
Disability:IN Minnesota invites you to join us for our next (VIRTUAL) meeting on Wednesday, January 12th, 2022 from 8:00-9:30 am.
Presentation: The Power of Disability ERGs: Influencing Inclusion and Intersectionality in Hybrid Workplaces
Description: With the current pressing issues in our world, Covid-19, and the ongoing presence of systemic racism, companies have a responsibility more than ever to speak out and show their intentions to change the climate and express what is important to their business. Diversifying the work culture by hiring and retaining people with disabilities of all races and cultures is just one way to demonstrate this intention. To do this successfully, creating or tapping into Employee Resource Groups can allow businesses to leverage the voice of those diverse individuals often underrepresented and produce models and best practices that work. Come to this great interactive panel presentation to learn about how local MN employers are leveraging ERGs to drive more meaningful conversations, employment practices, and the changes needed to affect disability inclusion and intersectionality outcomes within business.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the purpose and role of ERGs in driving disability inclusion and accessible workplaces
- Explore how goals and priorities have changed with ERGs recently and the new opportunities that exist
- Discover different ways to partner with ERGs to promote intersectionality
