We're offering a one-day training session made up of two 3-hour workshops that take place in a safe space with expert facilitators to help guide you through difficult conversations. You can choose to take both workshops together, or each separately. Please note that there is VERY limited seating in order to provide a more engaging and deeper experience.


Each workshop is designed to provide you with real, actionable takeaways and tangible insights that you will be able to immediately implement in your professional life.


Our workshops will:
-Help you become a better advocate for change
-Guide you in answering commonly asked questions around hiring for a diverse pipeline
-Provide you with the tools to keep the momentum going long after the workshop ends


Once you've completed the workshop, you'll be invited to the SGO Inclusion Workshops Slack channel with other previous participants of the workshop, where you'll be able to ask questions, get advice, and provide your insight on issues concerning diversity and inclusion in the workplace.


ABOUT EACH WORKSHOP
Recruiting and Hiring Inclusively
9:30am-12:30pm
Suggested Audience: Hiring managers, recruiters, human resources
A diverse workforce has significant business benefits, and we know recruiting and hiring with this mandate in mind is no simple task. We’ll discuss what diversity is and why it’s important. We’ll help you understand various biases that exist in us all, to better prepare you to make thoughtful and informed hiring decisions. Each attendee will walk away with a workbook filled with their own action plan as well as lists of resources on sourcing, interview tips, job description suggestions and more, all of which they can use immediately.

Retaining Talent Through Inclusivity

Suggested Audience: People managers, human resources, directors
Hiring is only the first step along the pathway to a more diverse company. Creating and maintaining an inclusive corporate culture, one that is supportive of diversity, is key to achieving your internal goals and metrics. We’ll help managers understand the presence of bias in the workplace and offer concrete tools and action plans. Your employees will walk away with a deep understanding of how they can personally contribute to creating a supportive and inclusive culture that will make employees want to stay and grow within the company.
