Event details
Join us for a nuanced discussion about the current state of DEI, including the research behind the backlash against it and how business leaders can be a positive force for change.
After several years of diversity, equity and inclusion dominating the headlines, the story has shifted to the resistance to DEI initiatives. In light of this, many companies are unsure how to act.
At this event in honour of Dr Poornima Luthra’s book Can I Say That? Your Go-to Guide for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Dr Luthra and her guests will provide an environment for open dialogue, exploring what caused the backlash, what can be done differently, and the common fears we all face around this issue. Â
