Workplace Equity Initiative - What Will It Take

Our Workplace Equity Initiative is a platform to bring together champions of workplace equity, diversity, and inclusion from across industries to help identify, understand and increase awareness about gender and racial workplace inequities and provide actionable steps that can be taken toward shifting corporate culture to achieve workplace equity.

Through the Workplace Equity Initiative, articles, and events, we will implement solutions and catalyze change to bring us closer to true equity in the workplace.

Join us as we share knowledge and move to new actions together, as we:

Connect, network, and form coalitions with other workplace equity leaders and movement builders
Share best practices
Empower organizations and employees to challenge the status quo, break down systemic barriers, and implement equity practices
Participate in the co-creation of shared commitments for creating a workplace culture of respect, equity and value for all
